Air vessel sizing approach for pipeline protection using artificial ...
Apr 29, 2023 · Sensitivity analysis is performed to show the effect of pump and pipeline parameters on the maximum and minimum head just downstream the pump after pump power failure. A new approach to find the required gas volume in a hydropneumatic tank (air vessel) to protect the pipeline using artificial neural networks (ANNs) is introduced.
In this paper, the influences of the air vessel aspect ratio (R = height/diameter) and its form, whether cylindrical (vertical or horizontal) or spherical, on the transient pressures resulting from abnormal working events of pumps are examined.
