A sphere L ft in diameter is moving horizontally at a depth of I 2 ft below a water surface where the water temperature is 50F. v max = 1.5 v . where v. is the free stream velocity and occurs at the maximum sphere width. At what speed in still water will cavitation first occur?

When the hydrofoil shown was tested, the minimum pressure on the surface of the foil was found to be 70 kPa absolute when the foil was submerged 1.80 m and towed at a speed of 8 m/s. At the same depth, at what speed will cavitation first occur? Asswne irrotational flow for both cases and T = l0C.

When the hydrofoil shown was tested, the minimum pressure on the surface of the foil was found to be 2.5 psi vacuum when the foil was submerged 4 ft and towed at a speed of 25 ft/s. At the same depth, at what speed will cavitation first occur? Assume irrotational flow for both cases and T = 50F.

For the conditions ofProb. 5.11 L, at what speed will cavitation begin if the depth is increased to 10 ft?

A sphere is moving in water at a depth where the absolute pressure is 18 psia. The maxirmun velocity on a sphere occurs 90 from the forward stagnation point and is 1.5 times the freestream velocity. The density of water is 62.4lbm/ft3 Calculate the speed of the sphere at which cavitation will occur. T = 50F.

The minimum pressure on a cylinder moving horizontally in water (T = I0C) at 5 m/s at a depth of 1m is 80 kPa absolute . At what velocity will cavitation begin? Atmospheric pressure is I 00 kPa absolute .
