Description

Given the basic characteristics of the pumping line da linha de recalque (interd diiameter, celerity, extension, geometric head), of the pumping equipment (rotation, inertia WR²) and of the permanent regime (flow, total head losses, pump efficiency), calculates the extreme transient heads at the pump installation and a the pumping line midway.
