Hydraulic Modeling of Operating Modes in the Mihaliq Main Pipe- Water Treatment Plant

Abstract

Hydraulic water hammer has been a serious problem in hydraulic drinking water treatment systems. This potentially can cause additional stresses and strain on pipes, joints and other equipment. In closed hydraulic systems, the phenomenon of water hammer usually occurs in cases when it passes from a steady state to an unstable state. In these cases, the kinetic energy of the fluid mass was immediately converted to pressure energy. The name hydraulic water hammer comes from the sound emitted by the phenomenon, the hammer-knock sound that sometimes occurs during this phenomenon. The phenomenon of water hammer is an important element that must be considered when constructing many hydraulic structures due to the extreme changes in pressure it causes. Based on it, our research work will be focused on the hydraulic modeling of operating modes in the Mihallaq main pipe-water treatment plant.
