Give the solution.
A steel pipe is used to drain water from a reservoir that is 50 m above the datum, and water is discharged into the air at the elevation of the datum. The pipe is 1500 m long and 450 mm diameter and 50 mm wall thickness. A valve is installed at the downstream end of the pipe allows a flow rate of 0.71 m³/s. The valve was completely closed in 1.4 sec. Calculate maximum hammer pressure at the valve. The pipe is longitudinally anchored. Eb = 2.1×10° N/m², Ec=1.9×10¹¹ N/m².
