Fluid (S = 1.5) drains from a large enclosed tank. The outlet is 2 m below the fluid upper surface. Assume inviscid flow. (a) The upper surface of the fluid is at atmospheric pressure. At what velocity does the fluid leave the tank? (b) To increase the outflow velocity, the air in the tank above the fluid is pressurized. What pressure (gauge) is required in the air space to double the outflow velocity? (The outlet is small and the upper surface is large; thus the speed of the fluid at the upper surface is much less than the speed at the outlet.)

1. Fluid (S = 1.5) drains from a large enclosed tank. The outlet is 2 m below the fluid upper surface. Assume inviscid flow.

(a) The upper surface of the fluid is at atmospheric pressure. At what velocity does the fluid leave the tank?

(b) To increase the outflow velocity, the air in the tank above the fluid is pressurized. What pressure (gauge) is required in the air space to double the outflow velocity?

(The outlet is small and the upper surface is large; thus the speed of the fluid at the upper surface is much less than the speed at the outlet.)
