Question one
a) A steel pipe ((:E=2100108(Pa),(K)=2100106(Pa),(L)=1000(m),D=200(mm),e=12(mm)} conveys water. The initial velocity is V=1.2ms. A valve at the downstream end is closed so rapidly that the motion is considered to be instantaneous, reducing the velocity to zero. Determine
i. The pressure pulse wave speed in the pipe. (8 marks)
ii. The speed of sound in an unbounded water medium. (4 marks)
b) Determine the rise in pressure at the valve in (a) if it is closed in 4 seconds and the flow is assumed incompressible. (8 marks)
