Water Hammer Problems and Solutions:-
Attention instructors, students, academics, and anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of transient conditions in piping systems: KYPipe offers a complimentary supplement to the textbook, Surge Analysis and the Wave Plan Method.
The supplementary materials include example problems and solutions online and are available as a pdf download. The problems follow the chapters in the textbook Surge Analysis and the Wave Plan Method.
The Surge Analysis and the Wave Plan book begins by discussing the causes of transients or water hammer events, including the effects of liquid type, entrained air, and piping material on wave speed. It contrasts the most commonly-used computational solutions that are used to calculate surge pressures, the Method of Characteristics and the Wave Plan Method. It also describes the benefits and shortcomings of the main types of surge control technology currently employed by the industry (check valves, air valves, open surge tanks, closed surge tanks, pressure relief valves, etc.). The book also provides several real-world examples of system types and surge protection designs that help to illustrate the concepts presented.
Now available for free, a supplement to the textbook.
The Supplementary Material is a set of classroom-style problems (with a few example solutions) that explore the concepts in the book, "Surge Analysis and the Wave Plan Method." You may view the Intro to the book and the first chapter on Google Play (with chapter 1) or PDF (Introduction and Index). T...
