Problem 5: A pressurized tank of water has a 10-cm-diameter nozzle at the bottom, where the liquid discharges to the atmosphere. The liquid level is 2.5 m above the outlet and the tank diameter can be assumed to be much larger than the diameter of the discharge nozzle. The air pressure in the space above the liquid is 250 kPa (absolute) while the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the rate of discharge (kg/sec) of liquid from the tank when the liquid level is 2.5m. Air 250 kPa 25 m 10 cm

Fluid Kinematics

The branch of science that deals with objects which are either in motion or stationary are studied under the branch of classical mechanics. Fluid mechanics is a subcategory of classical mechanics that deals with the behavior of fluids at rest (fluid statics) or in motion (posing some velocity). In fluid kinematics, studies focus on the associated motion of fluid particles or groups of particles, and its associated parameters like displacements, velocity, and acceleration without concerning about the forces that caused the motion. All the laws of classical mechanics are applied in the study of fluid kinematics.
