106 CHAPTER 6. NOISE CONTROLFigure 6.8: Adjusting <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> flow geometry for <strong>the</strong> reduction <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> noisegenerated by turbulence.tion can be avoided by reducing <strong>the</strong> pressure drop per stage (and increasing<strong>the</strong> number <strong>of</strong> stages). Cavitation gives rise to a broadband noise.Some design rules that are applicable for hydrodynamic noise :1. Reduce <strong>the</strong> pressure drop2. Reduce <strong>the</strong> flow rate3. Increase <strong>the</strong> static operating pressure4. Improve <strong>the</strong> geometry to counter cavitation5. Keep <strong>the</strong> suction ducts short
