A tank of water is emptied by the force of gravity through a syphon. The difference in water levels between the two tanks is 3 m and the highest point of the syphon is 2 m above the top surface level and the length of the pipe from inlet to the highest point is 2.5 m. The pipe is designed with a bore of 25 mm and the length 6 m. The pipe frictional coefficient is 0.007 and the inlet loss coefficient K is 0.7. Calculate the following:
4.1 the volume flow rate and,
4.2 the pressure at the highest point in the pipe

Solutions

Expert Solution

The volume flow rate is 1.29 litre/s

Pressure at highest point is - 3.6 m of water

Find the solution below.

Hope it helps.

Turpentine flows by gravity from tank 1 to tank 2 through 24 m of 1.5-inch diameter commercial steel pipe. Both tanks are open to atmosphere. The tanks are large, so assume that the level of turpentine in both tanks remains the same with time. The level of tank 1 is 15 m higher than the level of tank 2 (indicated on the schematic as z1 and z2). There are two standard 90° elbows and one open gate valve in the...

In large buildings, hot water in a water tank is circulated through a loop so that the user doesn’t have to wait for all the water in long piping to drain before hot water starts coming out. A certain recirculating loop involves 300-foot-long, 1-inch--diameter PEX pipes with six 90° threaded smooth bends and two fully open gate valves. The PEX piping is considered to be smooth (roughness is 0). If the average flow velocity through the loop is 5 ft/s,...

Suppose water is leaking from a tank through a circular hole of area Ah at its bottom. When water leaks through a hole, friction and contraction of the stream near the hole reduce the volume of water leaving the tank per second to cAh 2gh , where c (0 < c < 1) is an empirical constant. A tank in the form of a right-circular cone standing on end, vertex down, is leaking water through a circular hole in its...

A tank contains 100kg of salt and 2000L of water. Pure water enters a tank at the rate 6L/min. The solution is mixed and drains from the tank at the rate 3L/min. ) Find the concentration(kg/L) of salt in the solution in the tank as time approaches infinity. (Assume your tank is large enough to hold all the solution.)

1) One method of producing drinkable water is to force seawater through a membrane that does not allow the salt to pass through. Such a process is called reverse osmosis (RO) and the membrane a reverse osmosis membrane. A large reverse osmosis facility continuously filters 2300 L of seawater per hour. The seawater contains sodium chloride (NaCl) at a concentration of 1.4 M. Two streams emerge from the RO facility: (1) a “brine” stream with a sodium chloride concentration of...

A water tank is spherical in shape with radius of 90 feet. Suppose the tank is filled to a depth of 140 feet with water. Some of the water will be pumped out and, at the end, the depth of the remaining water must be 40 feet. i) Set up a Riemann sum that approximates the volume of the water that is pumped out of the tank. (use horizontal slicing). You have to draw a diagram and choose a coordinate...
