A silo for storing grains has a height of 105 feet above the ground and a radius of 1.5 meters supplies grains in an industrial process. The SILO has at its base a pipe with a radius equal to 1.27cm that supplies the industrial process. To meet the needs of the industrial process, the supply pipeline must be capable of supplying grains with a volumetric flow of 2.5 L/Seg. (a) If the grains flow at the maximum amount, what would be the pressure in the pipe at the bottom of the SILO? (b) A smaller pipe, 0.5 in. in diameter, supplies another silo, at a distance of 23.6 feet above ground level. What are the flow velocity and the pressure of the beads in this pipe? CONSIDER A DENSITY FOR THE GRAINS OF 1.2X103Kg/m³ Answer part to: 6x105 Pascals answer part b: 24.3 m/s and 4.8x105 Pascals
