Cavitation In Venturi
- The Cavitation in a Venturi Unit offers a clear and easy-to-understand display of cavitation.
- Students create clearly visible cavitation in a Venturi and take measurements of flow and pressure.
- They gain practical experience of using the continuity equation and Bernoulli’s equation.
- A thermometer shows the temperature of the water in the tank.
- Pressure gauges show the pressure upstream of the Venturi and the pressure at the Venturi throat.
- The pump includes electrical protection and the water tank includes a splash cover to prevent water spillage.
- It consists of a robust frame which holds a water tank, an electric pump, a flow-control valve, a flow meter and a Venturi.
- To calculate flow and pressure, different methods of creating cavitation and causes of error.
- The apparatus is a self-contained, mobile unit
