A hose of diameter 3 cm is used to drain a very large tank filled with water (=1000 kg/m3). The hose is draped over the side of the tank so the water is siphoned out. If the hose discharge is 1 m below the surface of the water, estimate the discharged mass flow rate in kg/s? A siphon implies a continuous liquid leg from the water in the tank up the siphon at point 2, the highest elevation, and down to the discharge at point 3. Assume that alpha=1, the discharge at point 3 as well as the tank are both open to the atmosphere and shaft work and frictional losses are ignored. 2.Based on your solution, how can you drain the tank faster?
