what is cavitation ?

Answer Posted / naseeb ahmeds

THE BOILING TEMPRETURE OF LIQUID DEPENDS ON PRESSURE OF
LIQUID,ITS VALUE INCREASES WITH INCREASE IN PRESSURE.THUS IF
THE PRESSURE OF LIQUID FLOWING THROUGH IS LOWERED,DUE TO
CERTAIN CIRCUMTANCES,THE FLOWING LIQUID WILL BOIL AT
PREVALENT ROOM TEMP.THE BOILING OF LIQUID RESULTS IN
FORMATION OF BUBBELES,WHICH THEN TRAVEL DOWN STREAM
RESULTING IN TWO PHASE FLOW.IN ACTUAL PRACTICE FORMATON OF
BUBBELES TAKES PLACE DUE TO DISSOLVE GASES IN THE FLOWING
LIQUID.THE BUBBLE FORMATION IN FLOWING LIQUID IS CONSIDERD
AS POINT OF CAVITATION INCEPTION

Is This Answer Correct ?    9 Yes 2 No

2. Dry saturated steam at 3.5 bar is expanded through a convergent nozzle to 2.2 bar. The exit area is 5 sq. cm. Calculate the exit velocity and mass flow rate, assuming isentropic expansion and super saturated flow. b) A cast iron cylinder head is fastened to a cylinder of 750mm bore with 12 stud bolts. The maximum pressure inside the cylinder is 3 Mpa. The stiffness of part is thrice the stiffness of the bolt. What should be the initial tightening load so that the point is leak proof at maximum pressure? Also choose a suitable bolt for the above application 2 The propeller shaft of a marine engine is to transmit 600 kW at 1200 rpm, without a significant bending. The efficiency of the propeller is 88% at 32 knots ( 1 knot = 1085 km/hr). If the slenderness ratio is less than 50 and the permissible shear stress should not exceed 65 Mpa. Determine the diameter of shaft. 3 A semi-elliptic leaf spring consists of two extra full-length leaves and six graduated length leaves, including the master leaf. Each leaf is 7.2 mm thick and 65 mm wide. The centre-to-centre distance between the two eyes is 1.3m. The leaves are pre-stressed in such a way that when the load is maximum, stress induced in all leaves are equal to 380 N/mm sq. Determine the maximum force that the spring can withstand
