Nonisentropic Nonsteady Liquid Flow with Centrifugal, Gravitational, and Dissipative Forces
Abstract
The method of characteristics is used to present general compatibility relations for nonsteady liquid flow or water-hammer theory which permit the investigation of the dynamics of the flow under diverse conditions; that is, for a liquid flowing in a variable area conduit affected by heat addition, by gravity, by friction forces, and by centrifugal forces such as in a mixed-flow radial vane pump. The compatibility equations are presented in finite difference form, and numerical-graphical methods for their solution are indicated.
