What is the main difference between Cavitation and Flashing?

Answer Posted / akhil pawar

in flashing, upstream pressure decreases to vana contracta
point.at this point,pressure is called as vena contracta
pressure.after this point , pressure recovery starts but its
not that enough to take down stream pressure above the
vapour pressure. means downstream press< vapour press.as a
result bubbles are formed and they remain there ,not
collapas.this is flashing,combination og liquid and vapour
flow at downstram.
in CAVITATION also, same situation arises.
only difference is downstream pressure is > vapour pressure,
therefore bubbles formed are burst.

A DP transmitter is used to measure the level of an open tank. The drain line of the tank is connected to a control valve, and is configured as, if the level of the tank is 90% the valve should get open 10%. And if the tank level is 10%, the valve should get open 90%. Draw wiring diagram and explain how to configure DP transmitter and control valve using HART communicator. If the span error at output is 1%, what will be the %opening of the control valve at 60% level of the tank?
