Q1 Q1 A) The sudden closure of valve at the end of a pipeline cause sudden change in the water velocity which in turn creates a phenomenon called water hammer. The water in motion is forced to stop or change direction suddenly (momentum change) and a pressure wave propagates in the pipe. It ’s also called hydraulic shock.

Since all natural waterways contain bacteria and nutrients‚ almost any waste compounds introduced into such waterways will initiate biochemical reactions (such as shown above). Those biochemical reactions create what is measured in the laboratory as the Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). Such chemicals are also liable to be broken down using strong oxidizing agents and these chemical reactions create what is measured in the laboratory as the Chemical oxygen demand (COD). Both the BOD and COD tests
