This document summarizes key concepts related to pump cavitation and net positive suction head (NPSH). It defines cavitation as the formation of vapor bubbles when local pressure inside a pump drops below the vapor pressure of the liquid. Repeated cavitation can damage impeller blades through pitting and erosion. NPSH is introduced to quantify the pressure required to avoid cavitation. NPSH available considers the inlet pressure accounting for piping losses, while NPSH required is provided by pump manufacturers as the minimum pressure needed. The document outlines how NPSH available and required values vary with flow rate and other variables like liquid temperature.

Basics Fundamentals and working Principle of Centrifugal Pump.SHASHI BHUSHAN
Basics Fundamentals and working Principle of Centrifugal Pump. Centrifugal pumps are the rotodynamic machines that convert mechanical energy of shaft into kinetic and pressure energy of Fluid which may be used to raise the level of fluid. A centrifugal pump is named so, because the energy added by the impeller to the fluid is largely due to centrifugal effects.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

It consists of cw radar and fmcw radar ,range measurement,if amplifier and fmcw altimeterThe CW radar operates using continuous wave transmission, while the FMCW radar employs frequency-modulated continuous wave technology. Range measurement is a crucial aspect of radar systems, providing information about the distance to a target. The IF amplifier plays a key role in signal processing, amplifying intermediate frequency signals for further analysis. The FMCW altimeter utilizes frequency-modulated continuous wave technology to accurately measure altitude above a reference point.

4. Introduction to Cavitation
When pumping the liquids, it is possible for the local
pressure ‘‘p’’ inside the pump to fall below the Vapour
Pressure ‘’Pv’’ of the Liquid, which is also called Saturation
Pressure ‘’Psat’’, namely
P < Pv or P < Psat
Where, ’Psat’’is the pressure of the liquid at which phase
change occurs.
And Pv is the Vapor Pressure that can be defined as, at any
particular temperature, the pressure acted over the substance( solid
or liquid) at which the Vapors are formed then that pressure is called
Vapor Pressure.
5. Introduction to Cavitation
When P < Pv, the liquid starts boiling, typically on the
suction side of rotating impeller blades, where the pressure
is lowest.
And Vapour-filled bubbles called ‘’Cavitation Bubbles’’
appear.
These bubbles are then transported to the region where
the pressure is higher, causing rapid collapse bubbles on a
localized that is actually undesirable.
6. Problems Caused by Cavitation
The collapse of cavitation bubbles at higher pressure
region is undesirable because they cause,
1. Noise
2. Vibrations
3. Reduced Efficiency
and the most importantly is
4. Damage the Impeller, as shown next.
8. Introduction to Cavitation
Repeated collapse of bubbles near the blade surface
of the impeller leads to the Pitting and Erosion of the
blade, and eventually catastrophic blade failure.
To avoid cavitation we must ensure that the local
pressure ‘’P’’ everywhere inside the pump stays above the
Vapour/ Saturation Pressure ‘’Pv or Psat’’ of the flowing
Liquid.
Since pressure is mostly estimated at the Inlet of Pump,
so cavitation criteria is typically specified at Pump’s Inlet.
So its useful to employ a flow parameter called Net
Positive Suction Head ( NPSH ).
9. Introduction to NPSH
NPSH-
Stands for Net Positive Suction Head.
•Net = Result of adding some positives and some negatives.
•Positive = + (always positive)
•Suction = The Inlet of the pump.
•Head = Energy (Pressure) in feet, absolute( includes
atmospheric pressure).
10. Definition
NPSH is the the amount of energy at the pump suction
available to exert pressure on the fluid (head is energy,
measured in feet).
OR
It the pressure required at the pump’s inlet
to make the liquids flow through suction side
without cavitation.
OR
It is the absolute static pressure above the vapor pressure
of the liquid in the pump.
11. NPSH
As already discussed, to avoid cavitation, one must
ensure that the local pressure at all the points inside the
centrifugal pump stays above the saturation pressure of the
fluid, flowing through the pump.
So the quantity that is used to determine whether the
local pressure inside the pump is adequate w.r.t the vapor
pressure of flowing fluid without causing cavitation is termed
as NPSH: Net Positive Suction Head
The pump has a NPSH requirement in order to prevent
cavitation damage occurring and causing severe damage.
12. NPSH
NPSH can be clearly understood in two parts,
1. Net Positive Suction Head Available NPSH(Available).
2. Net Positive Suction Head Required NPSH(Required).
13. NPSH(Available)
Every pump has an associated inlet system comprising
vessel, pipes, valves, strainers, and other fittings.
The liquid, which has a certain suction pressure,
experiences losses as it travels from the reservoir to the
pump through the inlet system.
So NPSH(Available) is defined as,
it is the liquids net inlet pressure (in absolute terms)
considering the piping system and fitting losses is called the
Net Positive Suction Head–Available OR
14. NPSH(Available)
NPSH (Available), is a function of the system in which the
pump operates. It is the excess pressure of the liquid in feet
absolute over its vapor pressure as it arrives at the pump
suction.
The energy that is available to the liquid at the eye to
perform the energy transformation process and assure that
the liquid remains in a liquid state.
NPSH(Available) is the difference between the pressure at
the suction of the pump and the saturation pressure of the
fluid that is being pumped.
NPSH(A) = P(suction) – P(saturation)
15. NPSH(Required)
NPSH(Available) is a function of your System and it must
be calculated, whereas, NPSH(Required) is a function of the
Pump and must be provided by the Pump Manufacturer.
In a most simplified way, NPSH(Required) is the minimum
NPSH necessary to avoid cavitation in the pump. OR
To avoid cavitation, the minimum net positive suction
head necessary, is known as the Net Positive Suction Head
Required.
It is important to get the NPSH(R) value from your pump
manufacturer and insure that your NPSH(A) will be enough
to cover those needs.
16. NPSH(Required)
The pump can only perform its functions properly when
the energy available will be equal to or greater than the
energy required.
NPSH(A) ≥ NPSH(R)
And if we consider a margin of safety, then this rule can
be best stated as:
NPSH(A) > NPSH(R)
NPSH(Required) varies with the Volumetric Flow Rate of
Fluids, therefore it can be plotted on the same performance
curve, as shown next,
17. NPSH(Required)
Typical Pump Performance Curve in which,
Net Head ‘H’ and NPSH (Required) are plotted
versus Volumetric Flow Rate.
NPSH(Req)
Increases as
The flow rate ‘V’
Increases.
18. NPSH(Available) vs NPSH(Req)
But unlike NPSH(Req) value of NPSH(Available) decreases
with the increasing flow rate ‘V’ ,since Irreversible head
losses through the piping system upstream of the inlet,
increases with flow rate as shown,
And the point at which
these both curves,
NPSH(available) and
NPSH(Req) Intersects Is
a Maximum Flow rate
that Can be delivered
by the Pump without
cavitation.
19. Effects of Variable on NPSH
Value of NPSH varies not only with flow rate but also
with the Liquids temperature, since vapour pressure Pv is
a function of Temperature( i.e. Pv varies with varying
temperature).
In addition to this NPSH also depends upon type of
liquid being pumped, since every liquid has its own Pv vs
Temperature curve.
