2. Water hammer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

   So for a valve closing instantaneously, the maximal magnitude of the water hammer pulse is Δ P = ρ a 0 Δ v , {\displaystyle \Delta P=\rho a_{0}\Delta v,} where Δ P is the magnitude of the pressure wave (Pa), ρ is the density of the fluid (kg/m 3 ), a 0 is the speed of sound in the fluid (m/s), and Δ v is the change in the fluid's velocity ...

3. Hydraulic ram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_ram

   The momentum of the water flow in the inlet pipe against the now closed waste valve causes a water hammer that raises the pressure in the pump beyond the pressure caused by the water column pressing down from the outlet. This pressure differential now opens the delivery valve [5], and forces some water to flow into the delivery pipe [3].

4. Backflow prevention device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backflow_prevention_device

   Backflow prevention device. The simplest, most reliable way to provide backflow prevention is to provide an air gap.An air gap is simply an open vertical space between any device that connects to a plumbing system (like a valve or faucet) and any place where contaminated water can collect or pool.

5. Hydropneumatic device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydropneumatic_device

   The controllers are used in a circuit after a pump that is followed by a valved-side branch, and beyond a check valve, so that this device can only discharge liquid volume by a pressure fall of the system. Variations on the design include Having a protruding drive rod, cams from which trip valve handles. Having magnetically actuated reed switched.

6. Pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pump

   The device uses the water hammer effect to develop pressure that lifts a portion of the input water that powers the pump to a point higher than where the water started. The hydraulic ram is sometimes used in remote areas, where there is both a source of low-head hydropower, and a need for pumping water to a destination higher in elevation than ...

7. Heron's fountain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heron's_fountain

   The water coming out of the tube may go higher than the level in any container, but the net flow of water is downward. If, however, the volumes of the air supply and fountain supply containers are designed to be much larger than the volume of the basin, with the flow rate of water from the nozzle of the spout being held constant, the fountain ...

8. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

   A single temperature tap is commonly found in a commercial or public restroom where the temperature of the water will be controlled by a separate temperature regulating valve that mixes hot and cold water. The regulating valve may be under the handwashing sink or in a separate mechanical room or service closet.
