1. Rotation of the impeller imparts energy to the liquid causing it to exit the impeller’s vane at a greater velocity than it
possessed when entered.
2. Even a small improvement in pump efficiency could yield very significant saving of electricity.
3. Capacity of the centrifugal pump decreases as discharge pressure increases.
4. A pressure is needed to make the liquid flow at required rate and overcome head losses in the system.
5-6. Two types of head loss: static and friction
7. The operating point should correspond to the flow rate at the pump’s Best Efficiency Point (BEP).
8. Hydraulic transients (HT) are planned or accidental changes of conditions in a water distribution network.
9. This implicit method uses a finite difference scheme for the transient flow problem.
10. Graphical method neglects friction in its theoretical development but includes a means of accounting for it through a
correction.
11. Surge tanks decreases cycle time of pressure wave in the penstock .
12. Rum pump is an old technology that used hydraulic transients to lift water from a stream to a higher elevation.
13. Surge modelling provides the most effective means of identifying weak spots in the network and predicting possible effects
of hydraulic transients under different standard and emergency scenarios.
14. Calibration is the process of adjusting model input data so that simulated hydraulics and water
quality results adequately reflect observed field data.
15. Model selection—Definition of model requirements and selection of a model (hydraulic and/ or water quality) that
fits desired requirements.
16. Network representation—Representation of the distribution system components in the model.
17. Verification—Independent comparison of model and field results to verify the adequacy of the model representation.
18. The head or nodal equations use only flow continuity and consider the nodal heads as unknown rather than the pipe flows.
19. The loop or flow equations consiast of the junction relationships written with respect to the Np unknown flow rates.
20. The linear theory method was presented by Wood and Charles (1972) for simple networks and later extended to include
pumps and other appurtenances(Wood, 1980).

ENUMERATION (38 pts.):

Identify the parts on the centrifugal pump. (8 pts.)

How surge tank works? ( 5 pts.)

1. Give 3 factors affecting the hydraulic transients
 Possible contents of dissolved or gaseous gases in the water. Gas bubbles normally
reduce transients
 Formation and appearance of vapour pockets (cavities) in the water
 Pipeline profile
 The elastic properties of the water and the pipes. Less elastic pipes are disadvantageous
 Formation and appearance of vapour pockets (cavities) in the water
2. Methods of Controlling Transients
 Surge tanks
 Valve operation
 Pressure relief valve
3. Flow Control Strategies
 By-pass control
 Start-Stop Control
4. Computer Models
 Steady-State hydraulic models
 Extended-period hydraulic simulation models
 Water Quality simulation models
 Optimization models
5. Give 5 Application of models
 Model selection
 Network representation
 Calibration
 Verification
 Problem definition
 Model application
 Analysis/display of results
