Numerical Model for Water Hammer in Homogeneous Equilibrium Two Phase Fluid
Abstract: Generally, water hammer can occur in any thermal-hydraulic systems. Rapid closing or opening of a valve causes pressure transients due to the sudden transformation of kinetic energy into the potential energy. The resulting high pressure surge upstream of the valve leads to the temporary increase in pressure. If the increased pressure surpasses the safety margin for the pipe, it can lead to failure of the pipeline. A mathematical model is …

Analysis of Groundwater Quality Parameters of Part of Nanded City, Maharashtra State (India)
Abstract: In Nanded township, generally the water is drawn from the shallow aquifers. As the soil thickness is more and because of its permeable and porous nature, the effluent water percolates into the ground and contaminates the groundwater. In this assessment, the physicochemical parameters like pH, calcium, chloride, alkalinity, total hardness, and salinity are determined by following the standard procedures given by Trivedi and Goel (1986). The sources of these contaminants …
