Chapter 8, Problem 8.3NP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation : It should be shown that the maximum height of a water column in which cavitation does not occur is $9.7\text{ m}$ at $298\text{ K}$ .

Concept Introduction :

The maximum height of the water column can be calculated using the following equation:

  $h=\frac{P_{inner}-P_{outer}}{\rho g}$

Here,

  $\begin{array}{l}h\text{ - height}\\ P\text{ - pressure}\\ \rho \text{ - density}\\ g\text{ - gravitational force}\end{array}$
