  33. Calculation of the change of length due to the change of the temperature Where: DL = Change of length [m] L = Length [m] a = Coefficient of thermal expansion [m/oC m] DT = Change of temperature [oC]

  34. Calculation of the head loss Where: hf = Head loss [m] f = Friction factor [ - ] L = Length of pipe [m] D = Diameter of the pipe [m] c = Water velocity [m/s] g = Gravity [m/s2]

  35. ExampleCalculation of the head loss Power Plant data: H = 100 m Head Q = 10 m3/s Flow Rate L = 1000 m Length of pipe D = 2,0 m Diameter of the pipe The pipe material is steel Where: c = 3,2 m/s Water velocity n = 1,308·10-6 m2/s Kinetic viscosity Re = 4,9 ·106 Reynolds number

  36. Where: Re = 4,9 ·106 Reynolds number e = 0,045 mm Roughness D = 2,0 m Diameter of the pipe e/D = 2,25 ·10-5 Relative roughness f = 0,013 Friction factor The pipe material is steel 0,013

  37. ExampleCalculation of the head loss Power Plant data: H = 100 m Head Q = 10 m3/s Flow Rate L = 1000 m Length of pipe D = 2,0 m Diameter of the pipe The pipe material is steel Where: f = 0,013 Friction factor c = 3,2 m/s Water velocity g = 9,82 m/s2 Gravity

  38. Calculation of maximum pressure • Static head, Hgr(Gross Head) • Water hammer, Dhwh • Deflection between pipe supports • Friction in the axial direction Hgr

  39. Maximum pressure rise due to the Water Hammer Jowkowsky Dhwh = Pressure rise due to water hammer [mWC] a = Speed of sound in the penstock [m/s] cmax = maximum velocity [m/s] g = gravity [m/s2] c

  40. ExampleJowkowsky a = 1000 [m/s] cmax = 10 [m/s] g = 9,81 [m/s2] c=10 m/s

  41. C L Maximum pressure rise due to the Water Hammer Where: Dhwh = Pressure rise due to water hammer [mWC] a = Speed of sound in the penstock [m/s] cmax = maximum velocity [m/s] g = gravity [m/s2] L = Length [m] TC = Time to close the main valve or guide vanes [s]

  42. Example L = 300 [m] TC = 10 [s] cmax = 10 [m/s] g = 9,81 [m/s2] C=10 m/s L
