RE: The Underlying Principle of Cavitation – A Menace in Hydraulic Machines

in #stemng6 years ago

Cavitation! A danger to machines like friction due to lack of lubricants....It is nice to get a clearer view with enough analogy at our disposal here. Well done once again, you are always giving us well thought and presented posts.

So, when there's low flow from taps even with a full tank, I believe it is because of the presence of an airlock..Is it a case of cavitation that led to it? I am not sure I asked the right question. But, I believe you can help me out.

Thanks

Awesome post mate

Sort:  

Airlock certainly cause reduced flow and that's due to the blockage of flow path by gases, air mostly. Gases could get into the system in a number of ways including from dissolved gases getting out of solution probably at higher temperatures. So, cavitation is a possibility in airlocks.

Thanks for being here man.

Nice! Been trying to find clarifications.....Thanks for the prompt reply!
