A large tank (left side), filled with pressurized water, fills another large tank (right side) open to atmosphere. Originally, the valve is shut, causing the pipe upstream of the valve to be flooded with water, and the pipe and tank downstream of the valve to be flooded with air. The diameters of the tanks are very large relative to the diameter of the pipe. When opened, the valve offers negligible resistance to flow. Use the Bernoulli Equation to solve the following problems.

Question

Transcribed Image Text:A large tank (left side), filled with pressurized water, fills another large tank (right
side) open to atmosphere. Originally, the valve is shut, causing the pipe upstream of
the valve to be flooded with water, and the pipe and tank downstream of the valve
to be flooded with air. The diameters of the tanks are very large relative to the
diameter of the pipe. When opened, the valve offers negligible resistance to flow.
Use the Bernoulli Equation to solve the following problems.

P = 200kPa
p=1000kg/m³
μ = 0.001 Pa s

p = 1000kg/m³
μ = 0.001 Pa s
Frictionless pipe
D = 5cm
Assume the water in the first tank maintains its height and pressure. During
operation, a pressure gauge located at the valve reads an absolute static pressure
of 190kPa. At this instant the height of the water in tank 2 is 8.2m relative to its
base. What is the pressure of the water just before it enters tank 2? (HINT: If the
tanks are very large, practically speaking what is the velocity of the fluid they
contain?)
