The height of surge tank is designed by the highest possible water level during the operation. The theoretical treatment of oscillation in a surge tank is difficult because of the non-linearity of friction term in the governing differential equation of the system. The present study attempts to find a general solution for the surge oscillation in a simple surge tank in terms of non-dimensional parameters. Equations for the highest and the lowest water level in the tank, which are very important in the design of a surge tank have been found.}, keywords = {Surge Tank,pressure,Surge Oscillation,Non,Linear Differential Equation}, url = {https://www.ije.ir/article_71544.html}, eprint = {https://www.ije.ir/article_71544_cb83ad61e31c6e8145a467137000617b.pdf} }
