This paper addresses the engineering challenge associated with the safety assessment during the phased rehabilitation of existing water supply systems. The subject of this study is a 9084 m long hybrid main transmission water pipeline, where newly designed ductile iron sections (DN800) are integrated with over 50-year-...
Introduction. The relevance of the work is determined by the need to improve the accuracy of water-hammer prediction in pipelines where local gas cavities are present and dissolved gas release may occur under pressure reduction. The gas phase changes the local compressibility of the medium, the structure of the wave pr...
Cavitation is a harmful phenomenon in pumps, as it can cause performance degradation, pressure pulsations, vibration and erosion damage. Single-blade slurry pumps are commonly used for transporting wastewater, slurry and liquids containing solid or fibrous particles due to their high passage capability and reduced ri...
Environmental factors in water distribution systems such as temperature and standing pressure can affect the longevity and performance of plastic pipes [such as high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes]. While past studies have confirmed that temperature and loading have impact on the mecha...
The ASTM D7721 standard practice for determining the effect of fluid selection on hydraulic system performance was applied to the study of two excavators and a hydraulic dynamometer. Six fully formulated fluids spanning two viscosity grades and three viscosity index (VI) levels were evaluated using the dynamometer. Fou...
This paper presents a combined CFD and experimental investigation of water flow through a Shootfire-1000 water-foam fire monitor. The study aimed to assess pressure losses, flow characteristics, hydraulic stability, and cavitation risk, and to evaluate the influence of selected geometric and operating parameters on hyd...
