Abstract: When the rate of flow in a closed conduit is changed, large‐scale conversions of mechanical energy often occur, particularly if the pipeline is carrying water or some other slightly compressible liquid. Mathematical ...

Abstract: Energy systems are not only intrinsically interesting, because power is itself of importance; they raise fascinating trade-offs in other areas particularly since there are almost invariably technical, economic, and ecological ...

Abstract: Previous studies have naturally related water distribution network performance to the ability to deliver sufficient pressure and flow. The present paper emphasizes that performance also depends on the efficiency of delivering ...

Abstract: A gradient-based network assessment is proposed as a way to understand and improve the cost and hydraulic performance of distribution networks. It seeks to reduce the computation time of optimizing water distribution ...

Abstract: Descriptive energy metrics, calculated for each component, represent how the hydraulic state of a network evolves and how energy flows vary temporally and spatially. More specifically, these metrics describe how the energy ...
