Centrifugal pumps are fundamental machines in our daily life. Indeed, they can be found
everywhere, for instance, in domestic, civil, industrial, and agricultural fields. In the last …

Pumps that function as turbines (PATs) are considered an economical solution to control
pressure in water distribution networks (WDNs) in place of pressure control valves (PCVs) …

The chance of success in implementing a new project in a water distribution network (WDN)
significantly depends on the behaviour of the involved stakeholders. In this paper, the …

With the increasing attention to small hydropower, research on improving the hydraulic
performance of the pump as turbine (PAT) has become more important. Therefore, to study …
