Cavitation affects the performance of hydraulic machinery and also results in erosion damage. Although the damage produced in sodium is more intense than that in water, it is uneconomical to design hydraulics to totally avoid cavitation. The designer is left with the choices of improving hydraulic design and/or using materials/coatings with good resistance to cavitation. Susceptibility to cavitation...
Cavitation in hydraulic machinery affects not only the performance of the machines but also shortens the life of components because of the resulting erosion damage. This is all the more important in fast reactors which employ liquid sodium as the coolant because cavitation damage is more intense in sodium than it is in water. It is uneconomical to design hydraulic machinery to avoid inception of cavitation...
