149. Problem
The elasticity and dimensions of a pipe are
such that the celerity of pressure wave is 975
m/s. The pipe diameter is 1.2 m. and a valve
is located 600 m. dowstream. Water is flowing
initially at 0.85 m/s.
O Find the water hammer pressure for
instantaneous valve closure.
a) 467.68 KPa
b) 371,25 KPa
c) 231.87 KPa
d) 145.98 KPa
® What is the approximate water-hammer
pressure if the valve is closed in 4 sec?
a) 232 KPa
b) 225 KPa
c) 246 KPa
d) 251 KPa
O What is the water-hammer pressure if the
valve is manipulated so that the flow rate
drops almost instanitly from 0.85 to 0.28
m/s.
a) 132.91 KPa
b) 274.5 KPa
c) 487.5 KPa
d) 367.4 KPa
