Consider the pipe system in the diagram below. Tank 1 is a closed tank and the pressure in tank 1 is kept constant at 200kPa. The water level in tank 1 is at 1.5m. You as an engineer are required to install a frictionless pipe between points A and B. Analyze the system and determine what is the maximum length of pipe would you recommend between A and B? The following conditions are applicable The gravitational acceleration is 9.81m/s2. The minimum required flow rate is 0.5m3/s. The atmospheric pressure is 85kPa. The water in the tank is saturated water with a density of 997kg/m3. The pipe inlet and outlet are both sharp-edged.

Question

Consider the pipe system in the diagram below. Tank 1 is a closed tank and the pressure in tank 1 is kept constant at 200kPa. The water level in tank 1 is at 1.5m. You as an engineer are required to install a frictionless pipe between points A and B. Analyze the system and determine what is the maximum length of pipe would you recommend between A and B?

The following conditions are applicable

  • The gravitational acceleration is 9.81m/s2.
  • The minimum required flow rate is 0.5m3/s.
  • The atmospheric pressure is 85kPa.
  • The water in the tank is saturated water with a density of 997kg/m3.

The pipe inlet and outlet are both sharp-edged.
