Cavitation Apparatus

The present set-up consists ofa test section made of Acrylic having conversion and diversion section. Pressure tapings at appropriate position are provided. This test section is having one control valve at upstream side to regulate the water flowrate. Two pressure gauges are connected to these taping which give the pressure readout at the time of flow passing through this test section. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating unit, provided with a sump tank, centrifugal pump etc. Wateris pumped by means of centrifugal pump and passing through the test section, it returns back to the sump which make the system re-circulating type. Flow of water is diverted either to measuring tank or sump tank with the means of a flow diverter, when needed. Flow control valve and by-pass valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of water is measured with the help of measuring tank with piezometer and stopwatch.
