Appendix H – Problem 2
H.2 The average deceleration in a pipeline (whose celerity = 1000 m/s) downstream of a pump station after a pump trip event is 0.1 m/s2. What type of check valves would you recommend for this pump station if the check valve slam must be limited to (a) 10m, (b) 20m, and (c) 50m? What if the deceleration is 2 m/s2, 5 m/s2, 10 m/s2, and 15 m/s2?
