Abstract

Water level variations in the surge tank and velocity vanatlOn in the pressure conduits in a surge tank system can be computed by using the finite difference solution of the governing differential equations. A computer program that was written in Fortran 77 is based on the solution technique. A laboratory experiment in determining the variations of water level in a surge tank was conducted to complement the development of the computer program. The results of the calculated and recorded surge tank water level variation:>are compared and a goodness of a regression curve is expected.
