Question:easy

If net positive suction head (NPSH) = ______ the liquid can vaporize causing pump cavitation and failure of components.

Show Hint

To prevent pump cavitation in dairy plants:
- Keep the pump inlet pressure high and fluid temperatures low.
- Ensure the available NPSH (\(\text{NPSH}_A\)) is always greater than the required NPSH (\(\text{NPSH}_R\)) by maintaining a short, straight suction line.
