Hydrodynamic Cavitation can occur in any turbulent fluid.The turbulence produces an area of greatly reduced fluid pressure. The fluid vaporizes due to the low pressure, forming a cavity. At the edges of the cavity, small amounts of vapor break off. These form smaller cavities 100 nm to 3 mm in diameter. The smaller cavities implode under the high pressure surrounding them. This process of formation and collapse is called cavitation.

What is difference between cavitation and supercavitation?
CAVITATION is the process of formation of vapour bubbles of flowing fluid in a region where the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapour pressure and the sudden collapsing of these vapour bubbles in region of high pressure. where SUPERCAVITATION IS THE CONTROLLED FORM OF CAVITATION WHICH HELP US TO attain more underwater speed
Is it true that the ultrasonic cleaner uses the process of cavitation for cleaning instruments?
yes
What is cavitation and priming?
1. PRIMING LOSS: This is the suction loss for a pump whose NPSH is (-ve)2. CAVITATION: It is also suction loss by forming cavity of a volatile liquid whose NPSH(a) is belowNPSH(r) eg..Choking or blockage of suction strainers, closing of suction valve of apump when running.3. VAPOUR LOCK: This is also loss of pumping due to blockage in discharge of a pump..closing of discharge valve and running for more time..running the pump with in adequate minimum flow..liquid above boiling pointHence Cavitation, Vapour Lock and Primimng loss are different
Wearing something down by friction is called?
Wearing something down by friction is known as erosion. It can also be caused by an abrasion, adhesion, cavitation, and vibration.
What is Mechanical Vibration in Fluid mechanism?
Mechanical Vibration caused by fluid effects are usually ... Cavitation, Turbulence and Blade Pass. Note that these are not mutually exclusive and are often signs of wear on a pump. If you have a vibration analyzer you can spot the problem easily in the FFT Spectrum as blade pass is the running speed x number of blades. The patterns for Cavitation and Turbulence can be found at vibronurse (www.vibronurse.com) .... sorry I can't paste them in here!!! If you select the Vib Analysis guide and then the Vibrary and then select Hydraulic and Aerodynamic forces you will see the spectra.
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.
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.

What is ejector's cavitation?
due to pressure loss or sudden change in area the vaccum bubbles formed along with the inner surface of an ejector. it is known as ejectors cavitation.

How is pitting corrosion form in pump?
cavitation is the reason

What are the reason of vibration in steem turbine?
cavitation usually, or a thrown blade on the impeller.
Why minimum flow of recirculation is provided in pumps?
to avoid cavitation
What is gas bubbles forming throughout the liquid?
cavitation or carbonation
