Question

A siphon consisting of a pipe of 15cm diameter is used to empty kerosene oil (s = 0.8) from a tank A.
The siphon discharges to the atmosphere at an elevation of 1m. the oil surface in the tank is at ana
elevation of 4m. The centerline of the siphon pipe at its highest point C is at an elevation of 5.5m. The
losses in the pipe are 0.5m up to the summit and 1.2m from the summit to the outlet. Estimate:
i. The discharge in the pipe
ii. Pressure at point C
iii. Length of the pipe given f = 0.0035

Answer 1

Hello there, Warm Greetings.

Let us look into the solution directly.

Note - Here I have not accounted for minor losses since the minor loss coefficient is not mentioned for entry so the discharge is just inside the exit of syphon pipe.

if we need to account for minor losses, please tell me I will add the solution that needs accounting for minor losses. Please be specific in terms of your queries and please upvote the answer if you liked it. Stay at home and safe from Coronavirus. Thank you.
