Water enters a cylindrical tank through two pipes at rates of 0.223 ft3/s and 0.557 ft3/s (see figure below – control volume is indicated by dotted lines). (a) Indicate if the flow is steady or unsteady. (b) Calculate the average velocity (in ft/s) of the flow leaving the tank through an 8-in inside diameter pipe if the level of the water in the tank remains constant.
An open cylindrical tank one meter in diameter and 3 m high is 3/5 full of water. If the tank is rotated about its vertical axis, what speed should it have in rpm so that there is no water at the bottom within 20 cm from the vertical axis. Unit of the Correct Answer: rpm Decimal Places required in the final answer: none
