Question

Cavitations is caused by a) high velocity b) low barometric pressure c) high pressure d) low pressure

Answer 1

Answer:high pressure

Explanation:

Cavitation is a phenomenon in which rapid changes of pressure in a liquid

Answer 2

Answer:

Low pressure option d

Explanation:

• Cavitation is the development of gas bubbles in a flowing liquid when the pressure of the liquid falls below its vapour pressure, i.e. when the pressure is low. The development of vapour bubbles in a moving liquid in a place where the liquid's pressure falls below the fluid's vapour pressure, followed by the rapid collapse of these bubbles in a higher-pressure zone.

• Cavitation can occur in centrifugal pumps at the impeller's inlet or at the pump's suction side, when the pressure is significantly lowered.

• As a result, cavitation can develop if the pressure at the pump's suction side falls below the liquid's vapour pressure.
