- When gage A indicates a pressure of 100 kPa gage, then cavitation just starts to occur in the venturi meter. If D = 40 cm and d = 10 cm, what is the water discharge in the system for this condition of incipient cavitation? The atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa gage, and the water temperature is 21°C.
