  2. Water hammer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_hammer

    In residential plumbing systems, water hammer may occur when a dishwasher, washing machine or toilet suddenly shuts off water flow. The result may be heard as a loud bang, repetitive banging (as the shock wave travels back and forth in the plumbing system), or as some shuddering. Other potential causes of water hammer: A pump stopping

  3. Acoustic quieting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_quieting

    Acoustic quieting is the process of making machinery quieter by damping vibrations to prevent them from reaching an observer. Machinery vibrates, causing sound waves in air, hydroacoustic waves in water, and mechanical stresses in solid matter. Quieting is achieved by absorbing the vibrational energy or minimizing the source of the vibration.

  4. Faucet aerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faucet_aerator

    When an aerator is added to the faucet (or fluid stream), there is a region of high pressure created behind the aerator. Because of the higher pressure behind the aerator and the low pressure in front of it (outside the faucet), due to Bernoulli's principle there is an increase in velocity of the fluid flow.

    The hydropneumatic water hammer preventer chamber is generally adapted to contain a separator member which prevents the escape of a pre-filled compressed inert gas. They may be Placed closely before a valve that is closed quickly. Stops water hammering. Placed immediately after the discharge of a pump that is started fast into a pipe full of a ...

  6. 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.

  7. Tap (valve) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_(valve)

    Also, the tortuous S-shaped path the water is forced to follow offers a significant obstruction to the flow. For high pressure domestic water systems this does not matter, but for low pressure systems where flow rate is important, such as a shower fed by a storage tank, a "stop tap" or, in engineering terms, a "gate valve" is preferred.
