    Abstract Water hammer or hydraulic transient is an unsteady flow phenomenon which is commonly found in closed conduits of hydropower station, water transmission networks, and liquid pipeline systems. Acute transients events in a hydraulic system often result from accidents and mishaps. Significant disturbances may occur in a hydro power station and causes a rapid change in the flow rate of the system during some operational conditions such as load rejection, load acceptances, and instant load rejection

    methods will be compared to the emissions of the internal combustion engine. Due to the emissions created by an electrical power plant, the power used to run the electric vehicle must be produced in a sustainable manner if an electric car is to be truly sustainable in comparison to the internal combustion engine car. This leads to an analysis of the different types of power generation –coal, oil, natural gas, geothermal, nuclear fission, wind, and hydro. Each are analysed to determine which gives
