- Water at 20° C is siphoned from a reservoir as shown. For d = 8 cm and D = 16 cm, 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 of the piping system to avoid cavitation. (c) Also, discuss the ways of increasing the maximum elevation of the highest point of the piping system to avoid cavitation.arrow_forwardThe pressure in a section of a horizontal pipe of diameter d1 = 2.0 cm is p1 = 142 kPa. The water flows through the pipe at a volumetric flow rate V = 2.8 L/s. If the pressure at a certain point is reduced to p2 = 42.6 kPa, due to a throttling of a pipe section, what should the diameter d2 of the throttling section be? Consider the density of water ρ = 1.0 g/cm3. Choose the correct option:arrow_forwardBy searching the web or any other source, discuss how pumps in series and pumps in parallel affect flow rate and pressure.arrow_forward
- Answer completely The Fanning equation and the Darcy-Weisbach equation both relate the pressure drop with the dynamic pressure of the flowing fluid in a channel. What is the physical significance of the pressure drop? Why is it needed to be determined?arrow_forwardThe design of a new dam reveals that a water head of 10 meter and water flow rate of 100 cubic meter per second (m3/s) can be supplied for electricity generation. What kind of turbines would you recommend for the electric power generation?arrow_forwardA drainage pump has a tapered suction pipe. The pipe is running full of water. The pipe diameters at the inlet and outlet ends are 1m and 0.5m, respectively. The free water surface is 2 m above the centre of the inlet and the centre of upper end (outlet end) is 3m above the top of the true water surface. The pressure at the top end of the pipe is 25 cm of mercury and it is known that loss of head by friction between the top and the bottom sections is one tenth of the velocity at the top section. Compute the discharge. Neglect losses of heat at the entrance of the tapered pipe. Note - Give clear and correct answer for likes. Copied answer will get good no. Of dislike.arrow_forward
- Explain how and why a siphon works. Someone proposes siphoning cold water over a 7-m-high wall. Is this feasible? Explain.arrow_forwardWater flows from a pressurized tank (in figure below), through a 10.0 cm diameter pipe, exits from a 5.0 cm diameter nozzle, and rises 5.0 m above the nozzle. Determine the pressure in the tank if the flow is steady, frictionless, and incompressible.arrow_forwardRead the question carefully and give me all right solutios. A 2.4 m diameter tank is initially filled with water 5.5 m above the center of a 10 cm diameter, sharp-edged hole. The surface of the water tank is open to the atmosphere, and the hole drains to the atmosphere. If you neglect the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, calculate: a) the initial flow rate of the tank and b) the time it takes to empty the tank.c) Does the orifice loss coefficient cause a significant increase in tank drain time? yes or no, the emptying time for this case is t =arrow_forward
- A horizontal water pipe diameter 15 cm converges to 7.5 cm diameter. If the pressures at the two sections are 4 kg/cm2, and 1.5 kg/cm2 respectively, calculate the flow rate of water.arrow_forwardThis problem is useful for the preliminary design of a hydroturbine. From the material learned in this chapter, it is fairly simple to estimate how much power a hydroturbine can generate, given only the flow rate of water and the elevation difference upstream and downstream of the dam. A dam has a gross head of 15.5 m and a flow rate of 0.22 m3 /s. Approximating the overall efficiency of the turbine/generator to be 75%, estimate the electrical power (in kW) that couldbe produced.arrow_forwardAt the bottom of a pressurized water tank is a mouth with a diameter of 5 cm, where water is discharged into the atmosphere. The water level is 2 m above the outlet. The tank air pressure above the water level is 300 kPa (absolute) and the atmospheric pressure is 100 KPA. Determine the initial rate of water discharge (volumetric flow rate) from the tank, neglecting the effects of friction.arrow_forward
