- Summary:
- Cavitation onset is the main limitation to the satisfactory performance of hydraulic components. The first chapters describe the mechanisms of cavitation, which is the vaporization of liquids due to high velocities or pressure fluctuations. The classic scaling rules are explained, including the parameters and the NPSH. Cavitation noise, measuring techniques, and the effects of cavitation on the performances of rotating machinery are also covered. Examples of useful utilization of cavitation conclude the book.
