Learning Outcomes
"Basic knowledge concerning the location, the operating principle and the choice of rotodynamic pumps in a hydraulic network;
Modeling a network (regular and singular pressure drops, altitude rise)
Identifying the type of water hammer (mass or wave) present in the pipes, to assess the amplitudes of pressure variations and to propose adequate means limiting the transient effects.
"
Content
"Hydraulic networks (regular and singular pressure drops, elevation rise, pipes in parallel and / or in series).
- Operating principle of rotodynamic pumps: generality, constitution, manometric load curves, pump coupling, operating point, specific speed, similarity, cavitation, adaptation of the operating point;
- Transient phenomena in pipes: Generalized equations of transient flows; mass hammers and waves, means of protection.
