A siphon is used to draw water from a tank. The arrangement is shown in Fig. E. 6.19. Calculate the flow rate and pressure at point 2. The frictional loss equals 40 V2/2g. Atmospheric pressure is 10.2 m of water.

Step 1
- Atmospheric pressure = 10.2 m of water - Frictional loss = 40 V2/2g - Assume the density of water, Ļ = 1000 kg/m³ - Assume gravitational acceleration, g = 9.81 m/s² - Assume the height difference between the water surface in the tank and point 2 is h. Show moreā¦

A siphon is used to drain water from a tank as illustrated in Figure P14.50. Assume steady flow without friction. (a) If $h=1.00 \mathrm{m},$ find the speed of outflow at the end of the siphon. (b) What If? What is the limitation on the height of the top of the siphon above the end of the siphon? Note: For the flow of the liquid to be continuous, its pressure must not drop below its vapor pressure. Assume the water is at $20.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ at which the vapor pressure is $2.3 \mathrm{kPa}$. (FIGURE CANT COPY)
A siphon draws fluid from a tank and delivers it through a nozzle at the end of the pipe. Diameter of siphon = 40 mm, Diameter of nozzle = 25 mm. Assume that there are no energy losses in the system. a) Calculate the volume flow rate through the siphon. b) Calculate the pressure at points C and E.
