When was Emerson Cavitation Tunnel created?

Emerson Cavitation Tunnel was created in 1949.


What is a cavitation plate on a boat?

A cavitation plate is the adjustable metal plate that runs along the bottom of the transom on a V-drive. Some people call the flat metal plate on an outboard or outdrive a cavitation plate but the correct name is anti ventilation plate and cavitation and ventillation are not the same. It is similar in function to Trim Tabs. A cavitation plate is used to adjust the trim of a V-Drive and keep the nose on the water. Here is a link to a picture on PerformanceBoats dot com In this picture of a V-drive, the cavitation plate is anodized red.


What causes cavitatation in pipelines?

Cavitation is caused by low pressure. Regions of low pressure in pipes can be caused by sharp curvatures (such as 90 degree bends), sediment or residues, restrictions to flow such as throttling valves, measurement equipment, etc.


How cavitation can be eleminated in a pump?

cavitation is caused when vapour pressure in the fluid in higher equal to the surrronding presure. in the case of centrifugal pump, when the hydraulic pressure (due to height) in the fluid falls below the vapour pressure of the fluid itself, cavitation wil occur.

How does cavitation relate to diameter of a pipe?

Vapor pressure is the main factor in determining cavitation. Vapor pressure is a dependent on temperature. A pipes diameter becomes a main factor because it directly reflects the velocity of the pipe. Velocity is an important factor in determining cavitation in a pipe since it effects the velocity head for a piping system. If the velocity head is to great it could decrease the pressure inside of the pipe causing cavitation. Example: For a given pipethe flow will constant for. However the velocity in the pipe is dependent on its diameter. This is because velocity is based on the ratio of flow to area. Flow will not change but based on the diameter of the pipe it will have a different velocity. If the pipe had varying diameters the velocity will vary as well. Higher velocities will be at areas where the diameter is small and slower at areas where the diameter is larger.
