Pumping Downhill is NOT so Easy!

From large force mains stretching for kilometers to small pipe networks in factories, pumping downhill can raise many challenges. Join Stefan Fediw, P.Eng. and Chris Chapman B.Eng. for this NO SALES SPIN technical webinar where practical ways to analyse such undulating systems are explained. July 9, 2020

Great Video Guys explained things very clearly and simply.
I have just set up some bookmarks for future reference.

Thank you very much. 43:41 onwards is not explained well in many textbooks (or outright ignored) when describing the method behind system curve calculation. I guess most books assume the pipe is pressurised and in steady state when explaining static head. Great video.

This presentation was seriously great.

QUESTION: when the tube or Pipe, is large enough to overcome capillary action; would the flow after the first peak simply drain through the bubble by gravity? Therefore allowing at least a minimum flow around the bubble?

Thank you for a very interesting webinar! Would it be possible to direct me to some literature for further reading? Kind regards, Lars

1. Are syphon's are used in network system to increase the pressure? 2. Does these vacuum pressure values can be used in sewer network?
