| Abstract: | bstract: Generally, water transmission systems are inherently pressure transients, since the systems must beoperated either programmed or unprogrammed. The resulting pressure transients could be destructiveto the hydrauic systems, depending on its magnitude. The study concerns surge anaysis of pumpingwater pipeline system using Ajalli raw water pumping pipeine system in Ezeagu Local Government Areaof Enugu State, Nigeria as a case study. The method employed in the analysis is varying the number ofpumps in operation from 1-6, that is the flow rate (Q1-Q6) using a mathematica mode with the help of an Excel software to determine the magnitude of surge pressures at selected keypoints along the pipeine as well as determining the minimum thickness of the pipeine required for safe and efficientoperations of the system, since thickness governs the design of pipeine system against surge and the adequacy of the surgealowances provision (rampup and ramp downtimes) for an electrically induced transient pressures.The analysis of these three parameters, surge pressure, minimum pipe wall thickness required and period of vibrations were carried out with as well as without functional anti water hammer devices. The results obtained show that the actual pipe wall thickness did not satisfy the minimum thickness required for safe and efficient operation of the system when more than three pumps are simultaneously inoperation. However, the surge pressure developed at the keypoints of the pipeline system are well below the test pressure of 41.5 bar when five pumps are in operation but are slighty above the test pressure of 41.5 bar when more than five pumps are in operation from drainage 00m to 210m and from chainage 3+930m to 4+470m. Moreover, the calculated period of vibrations for an electrically induced transient pressures is very well below the actual ramp up and ramp down allowances.For the pipeline to operate safely, efficiently and maximaly as designed six duty and one standby, it was recommended to increase thepipelinewallthicknessfrom7.10mmto10.8mmfromchainage00mtochainage5+550m.Moreover,additionalanti waterhammerprotectiondevicesareasorecommendedto improve the operational efficiency and safety of the pipeine against inadmissible surge pressures in an even to electromechanically induced surge pressures inview of poor quality and inadequate power availability in Nigeriain general and Ajalli water scheme in particular. |
