A propeller is tested in a water tunnel at 20°C (similar to Fig. 1.12a). The lowest pressure on the body can be estimated by a Bernoulli-type relation, pmin = po − ρV2/2, where po = 1.5 atm and V is the tunnel average velocity. If V = 18 m/s, will there be cavitation? If so, can we change the water temperature and avoid cavitation?
