Hello,
How important it is to go for the transient study of rising pressure in penstock of high head power plants? The head is of 491 m with 20.42 m3/s discharge and with bifurcation in the end feeding equal capacity pelton turbine.Initial pressure rise is being calculated with Allievi chart.
How reliable will be the calculation with this chart?
Thank you
