Determine the water hammer reduction if a divert-er is added

Reference no: EM13546821

A 2,400 foot long, 2 foot diameter pipline conveys water from ahilltop reservoir to an industrial site. The pipe is made of ductile iron, has an outside diameter of of 2.25 feet, and has expansion joints. The flow rate is 30cfs(ft^3/s). Determine the maximum water hammer pressure (in psi) that is likely to occur if the downstream flow valve is closed in 1.05 seconds. Also determin the water hammer reduction (in psi) if a diverter is added that reduces the flow rate from 30 cfs (ft^3/s) to 10 cfs (ft^3/s) almost instantly on valve closure.
