Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of the potential effects on pressure transients of air entrained at the downstream end of entrapped air pockets followed by a hydraulic jump in pressurized pipelines. For this purpose, a methodology is followed to identify the potential locations, where [...]

Abstract

This article aims to obtain the dynamic elastic analysis of a steel tube tower for horizontal axis wind turbine using finite elements of bar (own code) and finite elements of bark and solids (modeling in ANSYS). For this, a theoretical foundation is presented that consists in the [...]

Abstract

Air pockets generated during emptying operations in pressurized hydraulic systems cause significant pressure drops inside pipes. To avoid these sudden pressure changes, one of the most widely used methods involves the installation of air valves along the pipeline route. These elements [...]
