the aperture is shut. The impact thusproduced, acting on the sides of the pipe and on the valve (^, raises this valve,and a quantity of water passes into the reservoir C, compressing the air inthe space above the mouth d of the rising main D. This air by itselastic force closes the valve b^ and the… … Fig. 143 and when it has acquired sufficient velocity the valve b is again closed,and the whole process is repeated. In this way water can be raised to a height many times as great as thedifference in level from E to the valve b. If no energy were lost infriction, and in raising the valves, the…
