    Designing a Water Hammer Flow Loop - Where do I start?

    Yeah, I will add pressure transducers where I can. Pressure transducers will be hard to come by in that frequency range. The pump I will be using is a Taco Inc Model FE 1206 3500 RPM, 5.45" impeller. It is capable of ~100 gpm flow w/ approx 75 ft head.

    Designing a Water Hammer Flow Loop - Where do I start?

    Wouldn't a 20kHz accelerometer be able to accurately pick that up? If not, how long of a pipe section would I need? Let's assume a 6 ft x 1 ft rectangular flow loop, with a valve in the middle of the 6ft 'test section'. 3 ft would be ~.0006 sec in between reflections, or ~1.7 kHz. An...

    Designing a Water Hammer Flow Loop - Where do I start?

    Without getting into too much detail, I'm interested in studying the interaction between the propagating pressure wave and the surrounding pipe. Unfortunately the motivation for this project is similar to a flow loop with a valve, and so the small scale version must be fairly similar.

    Designing a Water Hammer Flow Loop - Where do I start?

    Space constraints are a bit of an issue for going bigger. This is meant to be a pretty small/simple experimental set up. The goal is to trigger a water hammer event on a straight run pipe, and measure the response of the piping to the pressure surge associated with the water hammer. It would...

    Designing a Water Hammer Flow Loop - Where do I start?

    I am working on a project where I need to design a flow loop capable of generating a water hammer event. It needs to be fairly simple, and fairly compact (approx 2x3 feet). I was thinking of something simple - a rectangular flow loop with a pump, and a valve on a straight section. When the...
