The article proposes the use of bicubic spline interpolation to optimize hydraulic and thermal calculations while processing thermodynamic library data. Research was carried out both in single-phase gas liquid regions, as well two-phase gas-liquid region. accuracy tested for various libraries on multi-component mixtures. Various coordinate systems (P, x), T), H), S) were tested, optimal coordin...

The potential of water hammer events for igniting hydrogen-oxygen mixtures was examined in an experimental study. Compression waves simulating water-hammer were created by projectile impact on a piston water-filled pipe terminated test section filled with gas. Triangular wave forms peak pressures up to 50 MPa propagated through the piping system and compressed gas section. Experiments carried o...
