Water Hammer Pressure Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. = (Flow Velocity of Fluid*Bulk Modulus of Water)/Velocity of Sound in Water
P_w = (V_w*K_w)/C
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. - (Measured in Pascal) - Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. is defined as pressure surge caused by a rapid change in flow velocity in the pipeline.
Flow Velocity of Fluid - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Flow Velocity of Fluid gives the velocity of an element of fluid at a position and time.
Bulk Modulus of Water - (Measured in Pascal) - Bulk Modulus of Water is defined as the proportion of volumetric stress linked to the volumetric strain of definite material, although the deformation of the material is within the elastic limit.
Velocity of Sound in Water - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Velocity of Sound in Water is about 1,480 meters per second.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Flow Velocity of Fluid: 13.47 Meter per Second --> 13.47 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Bulk Modulus of Water: 191.69 Megapascal --> 191690000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Velocity of Sound in Water: 1480 Meter per Second --> 1480 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

P_w = (V_w*K_w)/C --> (13.47*191690000)/1480

Evaluating ... ...

P_w = 1744638.04054054

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1744638.04054054 Pascal -->1.74463804054054 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.74463804054054 ≈ 1.744638 Megapascal <-- Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng.

What is Water Hammer Principle?

Water Hammer is a pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change). As soon as steam leaves the boiler, it starts losing heat. This gives rise to the phenomenon of water hammer.

How to Calculate Water Hammer Pressure?

Water Hammer Pressure calculator uses Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. = (Flow Velocity of Fluid*Bulk Modulus of Water)/Velocity of Sound in Water to calculate the Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng., The Water Hammer Pressure formula is defined as the value of pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change). Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. is denoted by P_w symbol.

How to calculate Water Hammer Pressure using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Water Hammer Pressure, enter Flow Velocity of Fluid (V_w), Bulk Modulus of Water (K_w) & Velocity of Sound in Water (C) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Water Hammer Pressure calculation can be explained with given input values -> 1.8E-8 = (13.47*191690000)/1480.

FAQ

What is Water Hammer Pressure?

The Water Hammer Pressure formula is defined as the value of pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) and is represented as P_w = (V_w*K_w)/C or Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. = (Flow Velocity of Fluid*Bulk Modulus of Water)/Velocity of Sound in Water. Flow Velocity of Fluid gives the velocity of an element of fluid at a position and time, Bulk Modulus of Water is defined as the proportion of volumetric stress linked to the volumetric strain of definite material, although the deformation of the material is within the elastic limit & Velocity of Sound in Water is about 1,480 meters per second.

How to calculate Water Hammer Pressure?

The Water Hammer Pressure formula is defined as the value of pressure surge or wave caused when a fluid (usually a liquid but sometimes also a gas) in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) is calculated using Water Hammer Pressure in Environmental Eng. = (Flow Velocity of Fluid*Bulk Modulus of Water)/Velocity of Sound in Water.
