what can cause water pipes to vibrate and make noise

Solutions

Expert Solution

there are many caused of vibration of water pipes some of common cuased discussed here

1 water hammer: Water hammers, also known as hydraulic shocks, occur when water is suddenly forced to change direction. this will creates the noise and vibration to the pipe due to shock. and this issue can be cure by adding air chamber at different location so that water should not change the direction

2 wobbly pipes friction is one of the main cuases of vibration and noise in the pipes

3 water pressure High water pressure doesn’t just put your pipes at risk, but can also lead to appliance breakdowns thats creates the vibration and noise

Church organs have a set of pipes with different lengths. With those different pipes organs can produce sounds over a wide range of frequencies. If the lowest frequency produced by an organ is 31.6 Hz, and the highest frequency is 1.80 kHz, then what is the shortest possible wavelength of sound the organ can produce? Assume that the speed of sound is 336 m/s. B) What is the longest possible sound wavelength the organ can produce?

In rats, a loud noise can provoke a startle response. With repeated loud noise stimuli, the rat will stop displaying a startle response. However, if the rat is given a different noise stimulus followed be the original loud noise, it will show the startle response again. This is an example of learning and, to a lesser extent, memory. Use the scenarios above and your own examples to:   Explain the role of the following in learning and memory: short-term memory, memory...

In the design of a city water supply system, three reservoirs are connected by three pipes which meet at the junction. Reservoir A needs to supply 0.0938 m3/s to lower reservoirs B (Elevation 150 m) and C (Elevation 140 m). Pipe 1 is 900 m long and 300 mm in diameter, pipe 2 is a 200 mm diameter pipe 387 m long, and pipe 3 is 200 mm in diameter and 700 m long. The roughness coefficient for all pipes...

When acid and water are mixed, heat is released which can cause the solution to boil and splatter. Calculate the final temperature of the solution when 10.00 mL of 2.50 M HCN at 25°C is added to 200 mL of water at 25°C. Assume that: HCN releases 50 kJ/mol when dissolved, the solution has a density of 1.01 g/mL and a specific heat capacity of 4.18 J/g°C, and that the container has a negligible heat capacity.

Two large tanks are connected by two pipes of different size in parallel. Water temperature is 20°C. The surface water elevation in the upstream reservoir (Reservoir I) is 175m. The length of each pipe is 1250 m, and other properties are specified in the following: Pipe A: diameter 0.5m, and frictional factor 0.025; Pipe B: diameter 0.25m, the frictional factor is not given, but relative roughness is 0.006 under the flow condition observed. Flow velocity in Pipe A is 2m/s....

You are assigned to select pipes for delivering water to a newly developed residential community (Class of Construction: 4). The community has 1000 houses; each household has 4 residents on average. For domestic water usage, a high demand of 0.40 m3 per person per day can be used for the design. The net fire flow (NFF) for this new community is estimated to be 2000 m3 /d. According to the design guidelines of the local water district, the maximum flow...
