Abstract: Results of field measurement of transients in two pump discharge lines show that the pressures were greater than had been predicted during design, and a theory and method of analysis are ...

Abstract: On the large scale of deep-water construction, marine pipelines are extremely flexible. Construction procedures can exploit that flexibility to connect pipelines and risers to floaters, manifolds, ...

Abstract: Field tests were conducted to determine the pump characteristics at four pumping plants on the Southern Nevada Water Project. Each pump tested was instrumented to measure speed, torque, and ...

Abstract: Recently, there has been an increasing need for more accurate methods of predicting the life of components operating in the creep range. Although many such components are invariably subject to ...
