Abstract: New experimental data on pressure-pipe flow of slurries, together with some literature data, are used to evaluate the performance of four resistance models based on different interpretations of the process. The experiments ...

Abstract: The use of microhydroelectric plants in urban pipe networks, based on the combination of a pump as turbine (PAT), two regulating valves, and two pressure meters, is proposed along with simple automation rules. Its economic ...

Abstract: The installation of hydropower pressure reduction (HPPR) technology in water supply networks (WSN) has recently been encouraged to limit water losses through leakage. Traditionally, pressure reducing valves (PRVs) were ...
