A petrol transport lorry takes a maximum load of 10 tons of petrol with a relative density of 0,95. The rate of flow at which the petrol is loaded into the tanker is 12 l/s. Determine the time it would take to fully load the lorry, the pressure in the feed pipe from the lorry to the valve at the ground level if it is fully closed and the petrol-free surface is 4m above the valve at that time and the velocity as the petrol drops into a ventilated underground reservoir if the petrol-free surface is 2m below ground level. The tanker is also vented. Assume no friction or shock occurs.

Question

A petrol transport lorry takes a maximum load of 10 tons of petrol with a relative density of 0,95. The
rate of flow at which the petrol is loaded into the tanker is 12 l/s. Determine the time it would take to
fully load the lorry, the pressure in the feed pipe from the lorry to the valve at the ground level if it is
fully closed and the petrol-free surface is 4m above the valve at that time and the velocity as the petrol
drops into a ventilated underground reservoir if the petrol-free surface is 2m below ground level. The
tanker is also vented. Assume no friction or shock occurs.
