Pump Trip
(OP)
This a question about a water system. There a centrifugal pump to pump water 20 km in 24 inch pipeline. Does the cavity developed d/s of a pump (after a pump trips) travel along the pipeline to other end? is this a real phenomenon?





RE: Pump Trip
It is difficult to see how this small bubble would then travel along a20 km pipeline to the far end, but not impossible.
A bit more of a description, profile, flow velocity operating experience etc would help....
Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

The water hammer effects diminish over the distance. The attached paper shows that the water hammer traveled over 6 miles.
