A simple rainwater collector used for home garden use is show below. It is comprised of an open-air water tank, a "compliant" or flexible tube, and a valve. To avoid overflow, the valve is set to open when the water in the tank reaches a height of 2m. The valve rests on the ground 3m beneath the tank's base. The outlet of the valve is open to atmosphere. f) No longer assuming inviscid flow, calculate the velocity of the water flowing through the tube at the moment when the valve is opened. If your solution method requires iteration, you only need to perform one iteration.

3- The pump of waste water of concentration (1.5 mg/liter) treatment plant system is powered by a (15 kw) electric motor whose efficiency is (90%). The water flow rate of the pump is (50 L/sec).The diameter of the inlet and outlet pipes are the same, and the elevation difference across the pump is negligible. If the pressure at the inlet and outlet of the pump are measured to be (100 Kpa) and (300 kpa) absolute, respectively. Determine the mechanical efficiency of the pump.
2. A Venturi meter having a diameter of 6 in. at the throåt is installed in a horizontal 12-in. water main. In a differential gage partly filled with mercury (the remainder of the tube being filled with water) and connected with the meter at the inlet and throat, what would be the difference in level of the mercury columns if the discharge is 5.0 cfs? Neglect loss of head.
A 30 cm pipe is connected by a reducer to a 10 cm pipe. points 1 and 2 are along the same elevation. the pressure at 1 is 200 Kpa. the flow is 30 litres/s and the energy lost between 1 and 2 is equivalent to 20 Kpa. Compute the pressure at 2 if the liquid flowing is water.
