Difference between cavitation and gas entrapment – meaning
Thread Content
The question is as mentioned above. Is there a simple way to explain it? I can’t understand the explanations on Baidu; please help, experts
Cavitation occurs when the medium turns into gas, preventing liquid from being pumped out. Air entrainment is caused by air entering the medium, which prevents liquid from being discharged.
From the names alone, it can be inferred that cavitation refers to the damage caused to a pump when liquid turns into gas, while gas entrapment refers to the effect of gas present in the liquid on the pump, which prevents it from functioning properly
