So, poorly worded or not, you're saying that restricting the inlet of a pump can
alleviate cavitation?
This is totally contrary to my experience - I've observed that restricting the inlet can
cause cavitation - not alleviate it.
If you think about it, this makes sense (at least to me).
I'm overloaded right now - anyone else want to step in with pointers to theory and fact around cavitation (feel free to tell
me I'm wrong - I'm glad to find out if I min-know something, so I can fix it...)
EDIT: "min-know" was supposed to be "mis-know" - as in Banks' famous "
It ain't what a man don't know that make him a fool - it's the things that he do know that ain't so" (I may have the wording somewhat wrong - but you get the idea...)
