Hello, can I get help please?

14.21 A 2800 m long pipeline conveys water at a veloc-
ity of 2.0 m/s. If a valve at the downstream end is
closed suddenly, calculate the maximum pressure
rise. Sketch the variation of the water hammer
pressure with time at (i) the valve end (ii) mid-
point B of the pipe and (iii) at point C 2100 m
upstream of the valve. The pipe starts from a lake
at the upstream end. Assume the pipe to be rigid.
For water, take K = 1.956 × 10³ Pa.
Solution: C = √K/P =
Critical time T₁==
Period of pressure fluctuation:
Water hammer pressure
Ph = PCV₁ = 998 x 1400 × 2.0 Pa
(i) Figure 14.16 (a) shows the variation of the water
hammer pressure Ph at the valve V with the static
pressure at V as datum.

Time taken for P to reach the lake = 2800/1400

Hence from 0 to 4 s, the pressure at V will be + Ph
and from 4 to 8 s, it will be - Ph
and from 8 to 12 s, it will be + Ph
and so on.
Note the period of the wave is 8 s.
