Investigation of Water Hammer Effect Through Pipeline System

Abstract

This paper we study the condition where the water hammer effect is occurs in pipe line. Water hammer can cause the pipe to break if the pressure is high enough. The experiment will be setup to investigate the water hammer effect in order to avoid the water hammer effect happen. The prevention of water hammer effect will be propose and prove the prevention method is successfully reduce the water hammer effect. The prevention method using is installing the bypass pipe with non-return valve. The experiment is done by capture the vibration signal by using data acquisition device and accelerometer. The pressure signal is capture after a sudden shutoff for the valve. The signal is than analyze and convert to wave speed. The project is differentiating and compares the water hammer phenomenon with different pipe material, pipe length, inlet diameter of pipe, and pressure in pipeline. From the experiment, result shown that the lower strength material pipe, smaller inlet diameter pipe, and longer pipe will deal with lager water hammer effect. Besides, the prevention method by installing by pass pipe with non-return valve of water hammer effect is proved successfully reduce the water hammer phenomenon by 33.33% of pressure.

A Coupled FEM‐SPH Modeling Technique to Investigate the Contractility of Biohybrid Thin Films

“…where p H is the Hugoniot pressure, E H is the specific energy (per unit mass), E m is the internal energy (per unit mass), ρ is the material density, and Γ is the Grüneisen ratio. More precisely, a particular form of the above equation was applied, called linear Hugonoit form [47] :…”

“…The Grunesein model relates the pressure and volume of a material at a given temperature as follows: where p H is the Hugoniot pressure, E H is the specific energy (per unit mass), E m is the internal energy (per unit mass), ρ is the material density, and Γ is the Grüneisen ratio. More precisely, a particular form of the above equation was applied, called linear Hugonoit form [ 47 ] : where ρ 0 is the reference density, c 0 is the speed of sound, η is the nominal volumetric compressive strain, s is the Linear‐Hugoniot slope coefficient, and Γ 0 is a material constant. Abaqus solved this equation simultaneously at each material point.…”

Fluctuations in potable water quality in Cyprus during the past two decades – the role of seawater desalination

“…This Hammer effect disturbs and releases biofilm into the system, causing microbiological and the associated organoleptic problems at consumer taps, as already detailed in Section 3.2 above. It can also cause pipe breakages if the pressure is high enough [4]. In addition, there have been numerous examples of contaminants entering the distribution network as a result of the Siphon effect, in areas that would normally experience water leakages through damaged pipework.…”

Una nueva aproximación para la evaluación del golpe de ariete incluyendo la condición inicial de presurización de la instalación y del fluido

“…La investigación actual se focaliza en cuantificar el efecto en la atenuación del golpe de ariete producido por el comportamiento viscoelástico del material de la tubería, por pérdidas y obstrucciones en la tubería y por la interacción entre la estructura y el fluido (Bergant et al, 2008a(Bergant et al, , 2008b. Otros aspectos de la investigación incluyen el cambio de fase y cavitación (Karadzic et al, 2014), la variación temporal de la fricción (Bergant y Simpson, 1994;Bergant et al, 2001), el diseño de dispositivos para la prevención del golpe de ariete (Choon et al, 2012), el estudio de la generación del golpe de ariete durante la fase de llenado de las tuberías (Fuertes et al, 1997;Zhou et al, 2002;Hou et al, 2014), y el golpe de ariete en instalaciones complejas (Wang et al, 2014).…”
