    Penstock Water Hammer Calculation

    Uploaded by

    Chris Angelo G Caadlawon
    This document analyzes water hammer in a penstock by calculating wave celerity, time for a wave to travel back and forth, and pressure increases for both rapid and slow valve closure scenarios. It determines that rapid closure within 0.46 seconds would cause a pressure surge of 4.089 MPa, while slower closure over 6 seconds would result in a smaller 1.255 MPa pressure increase that is 40% higher than static pressure.

    PENSTOCK WATER HAMMER ANALYSIS

    Data:
    Øp= 0.9 m Qd= 1.97 m3/s
    ε= 6.35 mm V= 3.456 m/s
    L= 211 m Hnet= 91.6 m
    A= 0.57 m2
    Ew= 2.15E+09 N/m2
    Es= 2E+11 N/m2
    ρw= 1000 kg/m3

    Solving Theoretical wave celerity;


    c'= √Ew/ρ
    c'= 1466.288 m/s

    Actual wave celerity:


    c= √{c'2/[1+(Ew*d)/(εEp)]}
    c= 923.0114

    Solving for T:(time of wave travels back and forth from valve to surgetank)
    T= 2L/c
    T= 0.46 sec.

    Solving if tc<T (rapid closure):


    tc= 0.3 sec.
    ∆ρ= ρcV

    ∆ρ= 3189.927 Kpa


    ∆ρ= 3.19 Mpa

    Static pressure:
    ρ(gross)= 898.596 Kpa
    ρ(TOTAL)= 4088.523 Kpa
    ρ(TOTAL)= 4.089 Mpa

    Solving if tc>T (slow closure):


    tc= 6 sec.
    N= ρLV/ρotc
    N= 0.14

    ∆ρ= ρo*[(N/2)+√(N/4) +N]


    ∆ρ= 356.817 Kpa
    ∆ρ= 0.36 Mpa
    Static pressure:
    ρ(TOTAL)= 1255.413 Kpa
    ρ(TOTAL)= 1.255 Mpa
    ρ(% inc.)= 40% pressure increase in penstock
