Description
This calculation adds a pipeline stretch to the water hammer scenario being built, allowing the modeling of variables related to the pipeline and fluid behavior under steady-state conditions. By inputting parameters such as length, diameter, thickness, temperature, and material, the system updates the scenario to simulate the behavior during a water hammer event.
