Simplified Approach for the Optimal Sizing of Throttled Air Chambers
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Among water hammer damping devices, air chambers are often used in pumping plants to reduce pressure surges to acceptable values. The chamber is more effective if a throttling device is used, resulting in a reduction of ...
Transient Flow Caused by Air Expulsion through an Orifice
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A pressurized water system may be subjected to high pressure surges because of the expulsion of a trapped air pocket through an orifice at the downstream end of the pipe. Results are presented of laboratory experiments, ...
Closure to “Transient Flow Caused by Air Expulsion through an Orifice” by G. De Martino, N. Fontana, and M. Giugni
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Discussion of “Simple Guide for Design of Air Vessels for Water Hammer Protection of Pumping Lines” by D. Stephenson

Variability and Trend in Seasonal Precipitation in the Continental United States
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Using 92-year precipitation data from 400 rain gauge stations located in 48 states throughout the continental United States, the change in precipitation in space and time was investigated. The variability in precipitation ...
Pollution Reduction in Receivers: Storm-Water Tanks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban runoff discharges in receiving water are a significant source of pollution. Storm-water tanks are one of the most effective facilities used for reducing the impact of first-flush pollution. Nevertheless, because the ...
