Question

The figure shows a siphon that is used to draw water
from a large open tank. If the absolute vapor-pressure
of the water is pv = 1.23 kPa.

(a) determine the shortest drop length L of the
50-mm-diameter tube that will cause cavitation in the
tube. Show all your calculations.

(b) Also draw the energy and hydraulic grade lines for
the length of the tube. Be sure to indicate the pressure
heads, elevation heads, and dynamic heads. And to
show all your calculations.
