Chapter 1 – Problem 1.27
1.27 If 2 identical pipes (same material, diameter, thickness, etc.) join at a junction node, and if a pressure wave of magnitude 50m approaches the junction node from one of the pipes, (a) what is the magnitude and sign of the reflected pressure wave? (b) what is the magnitude and sign of the transmitted pressure wave? (c) if the pressure head at the junction node prior to wave action is 10m, what is the pressure head after the wave action? [Answers: (a) 0m, (b) 50m, and (c) 60m]
