What is it about?
This work presents a study of the air inside water pipelines for two purposes: First: protect the system against the transient events such as water hammer Second: store the high pressure created during a transient event inside the air and recover it later. So, this can work like a Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) system

Why is it important?
There are a majority of liquid conveyance systems around the world that most of them face a transient event due to a malfunction in the system. It is important to protect them in these cases. Also, all the conveyance systems require energy for working. Storing energy inside air pockets and recovering it can introduce an innovative way for supplying a portion of required energy in such systems.
