Analyzing Transient Reponses of Pumped Pipelines Using an Analytic Energy-Based Approach

Publication: Pipelines 2020

ABSTRACT

Based on an internal energy concept an analytical approach is proposed to determine whether a pumped pipeline system needs surge protection during the loss of power to the pumping units and, if required, to calculate the additional energy that protects the system against the resulting transient pressures. The approach is then extended to calculate the required size of two conventional proactive surge control devices, air chambers, and flywheels. The accuracy of the proposed approach is then tested in the context of hypothetical examples with comparison to results obtained from a full transient analysis conducted using a numerical solution based on the method of characteristics (MOC). A very good agreement between the analytical and numerical results confirms the validity of the proposed energy approach.
