Water Hammer in Engineering Application: A Review

Application of chemical engineering principles in development of nanomaterials (review)

Nanotechnology can be applied as a common-purpose technology, as it has important impacts on almost all industries and all areas of science. In those early days, scientists and engineers have confirmed their study on the development of nanomaterials and their applications in various fields. Nanoparticles have a wide range of applications, since it incorporate knowledge from the fields of Physic...

Water Hammer with Column Separation:

Column separation refers to the breaking of liquid columns in fully filled pipelines. This may occur in a water hammer event when the pressure drops to the vapor pressure at specific locations such as closed ends, high points or knees (changes in pipe slope). A vapor cavity, driven by the inertia of the parting liquid columns, will start to grow. The cavity acts as a vacuum, a low-pressure poin...

Sensitivity analysis using contribution to sample variance plot: Application to a water hammer model

This paper presents ‘‘contribution to sample variance plot’’, a natural extension of the ‘‘contribution to the sample mean plot’’, which is a graphical tool for global sensitivity analysis originally proposed by Sinclair. These graphical tools have a great potential to display graphically sensitivity information given a generic input sample and its related model realizations. The contribution t...
