Solved Example - Height/Elevation of Pipe for Cavitation to occur

Problem:

(a) Compute the discharge rate (m^3/s) of the water from the bowl if h = 30 cm, dia = 5 cm, H1 = 2 m, H2 = 7 m, p(atm) = 101. 3 kN/m^2, pv = 2.5 kN/m^2

(b) Compute the pressures inside the hose at points 3, 4, and 5

(c) At what value of H1 would cavitation occur?

ANS: Q=0.023 cms; p3 = -68.64 kPa, p4 = -88.25 kPa; p5 = p3

Solution:

Thanks!
