Description
Summary:Cavitation in a centrifugal pump often limits performance or compromises safe operation. This practical reference provides engineers with clear and comprehensive insight into the occurrence of cavitation in a centrifugal pump. By developing an understanding of how cavitation affects pump operation in measurable terms, the book demonstrates how unacceptable cavitation can be avoided. Such industrially significant cavitation problems include hydraulic performance loss, hydrodynamically or thermodynamically induced surging, and cavitation erosion.
