Water at 20°C is withdrawn from a reservoir by means of a siphon, as shown in the figure. For d=10cm and D= 16cm, Determine: a) the minimum flow rate that can be achieved without cavitation occurring in the piping system, and b) the maximum elevation of the highest point in the piping system to prevent cavitation. c) Also, comment on the ways to increase the maximum elevation of the highest point in the piping system to prevent cavitation. (The saturation pressure of water at 20°C is 2.33 kPa)
A 50 mm diameter siphon discharges oil (SG=0.88) from a reservoir (elev. 20m) into open air (elev. 15m). The head loss from the reservoir (point 1) to the summit (point 2, elev. 22m) is 2.5 times the velocity head in the siphon and head loss from the summit to the discharge end is 4 times the velocity head in the siphon. What is the absolutepressure at the summit (point 2) assuming the atmospheric pressure to be 101.3 kPa? Do not write the unit. You will only input the numerical answer in the space provided. Unit of the Correct Answer: kPa (indicate the sign if negative) Decimal Places required in the final answer: 3
