I need peer review on my proposed solution to dissipate 180m pressure, which is:
"to design two CONCENTRIC tanks such that the inlet pipes will discharge into the central tank wherein I will provide weirs for ouitward flow of the stilled water into the outer tank. The central tank will...
No, because I have an outlet discharge pipe which will draw out the maximum flow at a maximum rate of 162 l/s to feed a reservoir some 10km away.
When the system is in operation inflow = outflow; there is no real storage intended at this break pressure tank save for just 1hr detention to cater...
The flow rate is 162 l/s and the incoming pipe diameter is 450mm. The velocity at the terminal point is 1.02m/s.
The pressure is assumed to be 18bars at the outlet point.
The principle of the break pressure tank is not to dissipate this energy via exit losses, but rather by discharging the...
I was thinking of a height for the tank of say 4m, with a maximum top water level of say 3m in the tank.
Why do i need a tall tank ? If I make the tank tall then I will be building up an undesirable static head which will give me problems again downstream of this location....
In terms of...
I'm designing a concrete break pressure tank. The pressure of the incoming pipeline at this location is 18bars (180m), which I have to break to zero.
My intention is to design two CONCENTRIC tanks such that the inlet pipes will discharge into the central tank wherein I will provide weirs for...
