Water from a reservoir flowing through a deformable 600mm diameter pipe with a velocity of 2.5m/s is completely stopped by a closure of a valve situated 400m from the reservoir. Assume that the pressure increases at a uniform rate and that there is no damping of pressure wave. The pipe has a thickness of 20mm. Bulk modulus of water is 2.20x10°Pa and modulus of elasticity of steel is 0.14x10"Pa. Find the water hammer pressure for instantaneous valve closure.
