Problem:
How do I accommodate 240 secs into the assessment. When the dialogue box in AutoPIPE for fluid transient loads is opened, the rise time is described as typically, the valve open/closure time. So can you confirm that me entering 240 seconds in this field is correct?
Solution:
As mentioned in the online help:
This is the time it takes the pressure wave of the transient to reach the peak value. This value is typically the valve or pump closure/opening time.
Therefore, if your system takes 240 sec for the valve to close and the the pressure to reach peak pressure, then yes, Rise time = 240 Sec.
