  2. Pressure tank - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_tank

    The diaphragm or bladder may itself exert a pressure on the water, but it is usually small and will be neglected in the following discussion. Case 1 is an empty tank at the charging pressure P c (gauge). The total volume of the tank is V t. Case 2 is a tank in use, with the air pressure at pressure P (gauge) and a water volume of V. Referring ...

    The city's Church Hill water tanks serve the Elko area of Eastern Henrico. [16] The city generally provides about 11 million gallons a day of water to the county. [2] Henrico's water main on Staples Mill Road dates to the 1950s, and had had emergency repairs completed on it many times in the 18 months before the outage.

  4. Hydrostatic test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_test

    The test involves filling the vessel or pipe system with a liquid, usually water, which may be dyed to aid in visual leak detection, and pressurization of the vessel to the specified test pressure. Pressure tightness can be tested by shutting off the supply valve and observing whether there is a pressure loss.

  8. Cavitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavitation

    When water flows over a dam spillway, the irregularities on the spillway surface will cause small areas of flow separation in a high-speed flow, and, in these regions, the pressure will be lowered. If the flow velocities are high enough the pressure may fall to below the local vapor pressure of the water and vapor bubbles will form.

  9. Fluid power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluid_power

    A fluid power system has a pump driven by a prime mover (such as an electric motor or internal combustion engine) that converts mechanical energy into fluid energy, Pressurized fluid is controlled and directed by valves into an actuator device such as a hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, to provide linear motion, or a hydraulic motor or pneumatic motor, to provide rotary motion or torque.
