A surge tank is being designed to retard the water hammer in a 3,450-ft long pipeline with a diameter of 6.50 ft. The design discharge is 460 cfs and the pipeline material is smooth concrete. Determine the diameter of the surge tank if the water in the tank is allowed to rise to an elevation 16.5 ft. above the feeding resevoir after the flow is suddenly stopped. Neglect minor losses.
