Description - The Avoidance of Cavitation Damage by Wolfgang Tillner

Under certain conditions liquids can change to the vapour phase;
this is cavitation, and it imposes serious limitations on pumps and
pipelines if damage is to be avoided.

Improved understanding of pump cavitation in recent years has
enabled a limited amount to be permitted to obtain the maximum
possible amount of suction, but in these circumstances it is very
important to have some knowleddge of the relationship between the
intake operating conditions and the cavitation field, and between
the amount of cavitation and the extent of any material damage
which can be expected.

The Avoidance of Cavitation Damage is concerned with the extensive
field referred to by the term cavitation, which involves industrial
activities and is of immense economic significance. At its
simplest, it is about damage limitation and damage avoidance in
pumps and their installations, and it is the first book made
available in the English language which has this specific aim. It
deals with conventional rotodynamic and self-priming side-channel
pumps, as well as both reciprocating and rotary
positive-displacement pumps.

The Avoidance of Cavitation Damage can be wholeheartedly
recommended to all practising engineers concerned with the design
or use of pumps - indeed, it should become a standard reference
work for all concerned with pumps and their use.
