Question
Water is being discharged from the bottom outlet of a tank with certain area in cross-section. The discharge outlet can be assumed as an orifice with 40 mm diameter. The water level in the tank is regulated by a float valve which turns off completely when the height of water above the bottom of the tank is 1.5 m and which gives a flowrate that is directly proportional to the distance of the water surface below this maximum level. When the depth of water in the tank is 1.0 m the inflow and outflow are directly balanced. Estimate the Flow rate when inflow and outflow rates are directly balanced.

The diameters in each pipe is 1 ft and the Fanning friction factor in each pipe is 0.02. The effective lengths of each pipe are given in the Figure along with other relevant data. Determine the flow rate into or out of each reservoir as well as the Reynolds number in each pipe. (Hint: Start the computations by assuming that the water flows into reservoir B).arrow_forward
- It is desired to have a laminar flow for the piping system shown below. The fluid flowing in the piping system is air at 70 °C. (Note: You must use the physical data from Perry's Handbook) a) Calculate the maximum allowable bulk velocity in m/s for pipes 1, 2, and 3 that will satisfy the statement above. The velocities obtained must satisfy the continuity equation. b) Calculate the Reynolds number of each pipe using the velocity values obtained earlier. c) Calculate the mass flow rate of the system (in kg/min). 3. 2 12-in. pipe 2-in. pipe 3-in. pipe 1/2-in. pipearrow_forwardquestion in imagearrow_forward
