Water flows through a 600 mm diameter pipe with a velocity of 2.7 m/s. Bulk modulus of water is 2060 MPa and the pipe has modulus of elasticity of 200 GPa. The pipe has thickness of 18 mm. If a valve is closed in 4.5 seconds at the downstream end of the 3200 m. pipeline, what is the peak pressure development by the closure?

Water flows through a 600 mm diameter pipe
with a velocity of 2.7 m/s. Bulk modulus of
water is 2060 MPa and the pipe has modulus
of elasticity of 200 GPa. The pipe has
thickness of 18 mm. If a valve is closed in 4.5
seconds at the downstream end of the 3200
m. pipeline, what is the peak pressure
development by the closure?
