a) Longer straight stretch before the bend. This is a possible recommendation but how much longer?
b) Mechanical reconstruction else, larger radius, larger pipeline dimension. This recommendation would have to be rigoursly document with no other means to mitigate the problem since this would...
I have found there is very very little information on this topic out there in regards to actual quantitative calculations that give you a valve opening time. I was hoping for a pointed useful text reference or someother such resource. I cant imagine this is an unstudied or grossly understudied...
Does anybody have any resources/equations/publications/etc for calculating valve opening times to prevent surge of an immediate downstream elbow. In my scenario I have a closed SDV with high differential pressure and an elbow downstream that hammers and I need to calculate how slow to open the...
