Overview: Replacements are being considered for a cooling water system that currently consists of four volute casing pumps. A cost analysis is done comparing the baseline versus variable pitch propeller pumps and mixed flow pumps with variable inlet guide vanes. Mixed flow pumps have the fastest payback in this application with a payback time of 0.4 years.

Overview: During a municipal water pump station upgrade, hydraulic engineers got approval to perform field tests to assess the waterhammer (pressure surge) transients. Surge pressure measurements were taken after an induced pump power loss and subsequent check valve slam. They also developed a computer model to see how well available software could simulate the produced transients. This data was gathered to provide guidance to the municipality on future project work.
