Construction & Design Details-
The apparatus uses a circular Venturi shaped test section manufactured from clear acrylic for unobstructed observation. Pressure tapping points are located upstream of the contraction, at the throat, and downstream of the expansion. Each tapping is connected to a dedicated Bourdon pressure or vacuum gauge of suitable range. The assembly is mounted on a rigid plate with support feet to locate securely on the hydraulic bench.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What phenomenon is demonstrated using this apparatus?
It demonstrates the formation and collapse of vapor bubbles in a liquid, known as cavitation.
Q2. How is cavitation initiated in the experiment?
Cavitation is initiated by increasing the flow rate until pressure at the Venturi throat reaches the vapor pressure of the liquid.
Q3. Can pressure be measured at different locations in the test section?
Yes, pressure is measured upstream, at the throat, and downstream using Bourdon gauges.
Q4. Is the apparatus safe to operate during cavitation?
Yes, flow control and valve restrictions are provided to protect instrumentation during experiments.
Q5. What water supply is required for operation?
The apparatus operates using a hydraulic bench with closed water circuit or a laboratory water connection.
