A 14m diameter cyclindrical storage contains 900m³ of oil (SG=0.85, v=2x10-³ m²/s). A 30cm diameter pipe, 60m long is attached at the bottom of the tank and has its discharge end 7.0m below the tank's bottom. A valve is located near the pipe's discharge end. Assuming the minor loss in the valve to be 25% of the velocity head in the pipe, determine the discharge in liters/second if the valve is fully opened. Assume laminar flow.

Transcribed Image Text:A 14m diameter cyclindrical storage contains 900m³ of oil (SG=0.85, v=2x10-³ m²/s). A
30cm diameter pipe, 60m long is attached at the bottom of the tank and has its
discharge end 7.0m below the tank's bottom. A valve is located near the pipe's
discharge end. Assuming the minor loss in the valve to be 25% of the velocity head in
the pipe, determine the discharge in liters/second if the valve is fully opened. Assume
laminar flow.
