## 7.1. Liquid Pumps

Water pumps must take in water and deliver it at a higher total pressure with an acceptable flow rate. Under certain conditions, cavitation may occur on the low pressure side of the pump, causing a loss of pressure rise and/or flow rate.

Both pump performance without cavitation and the affects of cavitation on performance will be discussed.
