The pressure on the suction side of pumps is typically low, and the surfaces on that side of the pump are susceptible to cavitation, especially at high fluid temperatures. If the minimum pressure on the suction side of a water pump is 0.95 psia absolute, determine the maximum water temperature to avoid the danger of cavitation.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]T_{max} = 100^o F[/tex]

Explanation:

In the given question the type of pump is the water pump and pressure on the suction side of a water pump is 0.95 psia

From the table of saturated water pump:

saturation temperature of water is [tex]T_{sat} = 100^o F[/tex]

So, we should avoid cavitations in the water pump, we have to maintain the temperature of the water below the saturation temperature of the water.

Thus, maximum water temperature  to avoid the danger of cavitation is [tex]T_{max} = 100^o F[/tex]
