ANALYSIS OF TRANSIENTS IN PUMPING COMPLEX WITH LEAK IN PIPELINE NETWORK
The analysis of pressure and hydraulic power transients is executed at sudden appearance of leak in a pipeline network. Application of power criterion is offered with the purpose of nonpermanent situation character determination. Resulted expression for leak location determination in hydrosystem. It is rotined that the leak origin in the pipeline system is accompanied distortion of pressure and hydraulic power signals, appearance in them of higher order harmonic.
