← ScienceWhich consequence manifests because water hammer is not addressed in pipe design?
A)Accelerated pipe fatigue✓
B)Reduced sedimentation
C)Enhanced thermal mixing
D)Increased fluid density
💡 Explanation
Pipe fatigue results from unmanaged water hammer events; the momentum of the moving water is abruptly changed, inducing stress. This impulsive force causes stress that leads to accelerated pipe fatigue, rather than any of the other options, because those do not include rapid pressure spikes.
