Properties of Fluids

The term fluid represents a type of substance that can easily change its shape under any external pressure/force and can flow. Fluids can acquire any shape in which it is stored and can resist normal stresses but cannot resist shear stress in rest condition. Whenever external shear stress is applied to fluids, it starts to flow. The fluids may be liquid or gas. Example- water, air, etc.

Question

A sealed water tank is 40 cm in diameter
and 4.5 m tall. The water level in the tank
is at 4m and the remainder of the tank has
air at 1 atmosphere. A valve at the bottom
of the tank is opened and water is allowed
to flow out. After a while, the water stops
flowing, but the tank isn't empty. Why
did it stop flowing? What is the water
level in the tank (m) and how much water
was released (m3)?

The cylindrical in the figure is filled with 31.4 m3 of water at t = 0. The radius of the tank is 1 m and its height is 10 m. There is an outlet line with a radius of 0.2 m at the bottom of the tank. a. What is the time required for half of the water in the tank to drain after the outlet line is opened?b. The flow velocity of water from the bottom of a water tank is related to the height of the water in the tank, and this relation is v² = 2gh where v: (m / s) linear flow velocity, g: gravitational acceleration (10 m / s2) and h: (m) height.

On a trip to the beach (Patm 1 atm or 101.3 kPa), a car runs out of gasoline and it is necessary to siphon gasoline from a Good Samaritan's car. The siphon is a hose with a small diameter and to start the action it is necessary to insert one end into the tank full of gasoline, fill the hose with it through suction and then put the other end in a can that is placed under the tank level. The difference in pressure between point 1 (on the free surface of the gasoline in the tank) and point 2 (at the outlet of the tube) causes the liquid to flow from the highest elevation to the lowest. In this case, point 2 is located 0.75 m below point 1, and point 3 is 2 m above 1. The siphon diameter is 4 mm and friction losses in it must be ruled out. Determine: a) theminimum time to bring 4 L of gasoline from the tank to the can and b) the pressure at point 3. The density of the gasoline is 750 kg / m3.
