System and Pump Operating Point
The operating point of the system is changed by flow control valve

PROF. ALVARADO 6
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
