CavitationCavitation is the formation of vapor cavities due to the decrease of the suction pressure to a value below the vapor pressure. If below
vapor pressure, cavitation
occurs

Pump efficiency • The overall pump efficiency is a product of
the volumetric efficiency and the mechanical efficiency

Pump efficiency
ENTC-303 PROF. ALVARADO 10
Overall Efficiency = Vol.Efficiency x Mech.Efficiency
Actual Power Out = P x QA
Actual Power In = Electrical Power Input (Watts)
