A 3.5 m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2.25 m above the center of a sharp-edged 8-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere through a 110-m-long pipe. The friction coefficient of the pipe is taken to be 0.015 and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor can be neglected. Determine (a) the initial velocity from the tank and (b) the time required to empty the tank.

A 3-m-diameter tank is initially filled with water 2 m above the center of a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and the orifice drains to the atmosphere through a 100-m-long pipe. The friction coefficient of the pipe is taken to be 0.015 and the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor can be neglected. Determine (a) the initial velocity from the tank and (b) the time required to empty the tank.
The water at 20°C in a 10-m-diameter, 2-m-high aboveground swimming pool is to be emptied by unplugging a 5-cm-diameter, 25-m-long horizontal plastic pipe attached to the bottom of the pool. Determine the initial rate of discharge of water through the pipe and the time (hours) it would take to empty the swimming pool completely assuming the entrance to the pipe is well-rounded with negligible loss. Take the friction factor of the pipe to be 0.022. Using the initial discharge velocity, check if this is a reasonable value for the friction factor.
Oil at 20°C is flowing through a vertical glass funnel that consists of a 20-cm-high cylindrical reservoir and a 1-cm-diameter, 40-cm-high pipe. The funnel is always maintained full by the addition of oil from a tank. Assuming theentrance effects to be negligible, determine the flow rate of oil through the funnel and calculate the “funnel effectiveness,”which is defined as the ratio of the actual flow rate through the funnel to the maximum flow rate for the “frictionless” case. Answers: 3.83 × 10−6 m3/s, 1.4 percent. Can you provide a solution for this?
A 3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. If the total irreversible head loss of the system is determined to be 1.5 m,In order to drain the tank faster, a pump is installed near the tank exit. Determine the pump head input necessary to establish an average water velocity of 6.5 m/s when the tank is full.
The liquid storage tank shown in Fig has two inlet streams with mass flow rates w1 and w2 and an exit stream withflow rate w3. The cylindrical tank is 2.5 m tall and 2 m in diam-eter. The liquid has a density of 800 kg/m. Normal operating procedure is to fill the tank until the liquid level reaches a nom-inal value of 1.75 m using constant flow rates:w1=120 kg/min, w2=100 kg/min, and w3=200 kg/min. At that point, inlet low rate w1 is adjusted so that the level remains constant.However, on this particular day, corrosion of the tank has opened up a hole in the wall at a height of 1 m, producing a leak whose volumetric flow rate q4(m3/min) can be approximated by q4=0.025√h−1 where h is height in meters.(a)If the tank was initially empty, how long did it take for theliquid level to reach the corrosion point?(b)If mass flow rates w1,w2,and w3 are kept constant indefi-nitely, will the tank eventually overflow? Justify your answer.

Two vertical tanks, one with circular section 3.0 m in diameter, the other square section 1.33 m x 1.33 m are connected by a short tube ( area is 0.725 sq. cm) near bottom. Initially, the head of oil in the first tank is 4.0 m, while in the second tank the head is 60 cm. After a quick opening of the tube's vlave, find the time for the oil surfaces to equalize. Assume the tube properties to be similar to that orifice, with C= 0.78.CHOICES: a.26 seconds b.23 seconds c.21 seconds d.35 seconds
