A pressurized 2-m-diameter tank of water has a 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom, where water discharges to the atmosphere. The water level initially is 3 m above the outlet. The tank air pressure above the water level is maintained at 450 kPa absolute and the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Neglecting frictional effects, determine (a) how long it will take for half of the water in the tank to be discharged and (b) the water level in the tank after 10 s.

Air at 100 kPa and 25°C flows in a horizontal duct of variable cross section. The water column in the manometer that measures the difference between two sections has a vertical displacement of 8 cm. If the velocity in the first section is low and the friction is negligible, determine the velocity at the second section. Also, if the manometer reading has a possible error of 62 mm, conduct an error analysis to estimate the range of validity for the velocity found.

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.
