5) A 0.5-m-diameter concrete pipe (5 cm wall thickness with rigid pipe walls and modulus of elasticity of concrete = 1.6*10' N/m?) carries water to a distance of 600 m before discharging it into another reservoir . The surface elevation of the downstream reservoir is 55 m lower than the supply reservoir. A gate valve just upstream of the lower reservoir controls the flow rate. The bulk modulus of elasticity of water is 2.9x10°N/m2. Ignore minor losses and consider friction factor f=0.02. (a) If the valve is closed in 0.65 see, what is the maximum water hammer pressure? (b) If the valve is closed in 5 seconds, what is the maximum water hammer pressure? [15] [5]
