Abstract: Economical design of hydraulic networks has been a subject of research for some time. Piping has been the main focus of this research because it represents the greatest percentage of the investment in a network. Pipe cost ...

Abstract: Computational modeling pervades virtually every industrial process. By using numerical representations of the behavior of elements that constitute a system it is possible to obtain efficient and safe designs. Moreover, ...

Abstract: When a problem of hydraulic transients with entrapped air in pipelines and/or with water‐column separation is tackled, the variation of the length of the liquid column is not usually taken into account. In this paper (due ...

Abstract: The work presented in the paper intends to solve the problem of analyzing a looped network taking into account the expected peak flows in the links. Usually, models are based on averaged demands based on the customers’ ...
