Research ArticleOpen accessBy-pass Devices as Effective Means of Protection from the Hydraulic HammerKhalid S. Al-RababaSwitching-off the parallel working pump units causes sudden discharge changes in parallel pipe lines, as a result of that hydraulic shocks takes place. The damping of these shocks can be achieved by the installation of the by-pass devices between the parallel lines of the piping system. The analytical calculations demonstrate that the reduction in hydraulic shocks reaches 40% and considerable … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2005 · 6,912 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessThe Operational Features of Pumping Stations Equiped with Parallel-Connected Centrifugal Pumps for Land-ReclamationKhalid S. Al-RababaThe required water supply of a pump could be provided by means of different combinations of pressure piping and pumping units at different operational costs. The basic indices describing the operational modes for the individual and group pumping units, including the values of the efficiency, are computed. The adequacy of the calculational results that based on the developed mathematical models … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 1 · 31 Jan 2005 · 6,802 accessesView PDF Cite
