TRAINING OBJECTIVES
- Study and visualization of the pressure increase produced by the variation of the flow through a valve.
- Study and visualization of the phenomenon of water hammer produced by the instantaneous closing of a valve.
- Study and visualization of the phenomenon of water hammer produced by the sudden stop of a pump.
- Study and display of the effects on a surge tank in mitigating water hammer.
- Determining the speed of sound through water a pipe.
- Determining the losses in a pipe.
