Temperature effects on cavitation in an orifice

Temperature effects on cavitation in an orifice

Temperature effects on cavitation in an orifice

(OP)
Cavitation is caused by changes in pressure. I want to know if temperature can have any effect on cavitation in an orifice. The fluid in question is water. Most of the data available about cavitation is at room temperatures. Does increasing the temperature of water, particularly to superheated conditions, have any effect on how cavitation behaves in an orifice.
The orifice in question has a low L/D value and a rounded inlet edge.  

RE: Temperature effects on cavitation in an orifice

Wrong forum!  You might try one of the mechanical engineer or piping forums.

My mistake.
Thanks.
