Water at 20°C is withdrawn from a reservoir by means of a siphon, as shown in the figure.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)
