Hydraulics of Vacuum Sewerage Systems [Hardcover]

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION

CHAPTER 2. THEORETICAL BASIS

CHAPTER 3. FLOWS THROUGH VALVES AND SERVICE LATERALS

CHAPTER 4. EMPIRICAL APPROACH TO SIZING OF VACUUM MAINS

CHAPTER 5. CONCEPTUAL AND MECHANISTIC TWO-PHASE FLOW MODELS

CHAPTER 6. SIMULATIONS USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

CHAPTER 7. FORCES ACTING ON PIPELINES

CHAPTER 8. VACUUM PUMP STATION DESIGN

CHAPTER 9. RESEARCH NEEDS AND PROSPECTS

In eight chapters, this book presents design guidelines and hydraulic calculation methods of vacuum sewage systems. After a short history of vacuum sewerage, the book covers the theoretical basis of multiphase flows, empirical approaches for the dimensioning of vacuum pipes, and conceptual, mechanistic and numerical two-phase flow models.
