Which outcome will reduce surge pressures calculated using the Allievi equation for water hammer?

💡 Explanation

Increased pipe wall thickness reduces surge pressures because it increases the pipe's elasticity, changing the acoustic impedance; this moderates the pressure wave via water hammer wave attenuation, therefore decreasing amplitude rather than leading the system to resonance.
