Problem modified from Example 5.8. The 20-cm-diameter (= d) tank of Figure 5.15 shown in the textbook contains chloroform, and it is being drained by the attached piping system.
The pipe Section itself is made of 3-nominal schedule 40 commercial steel and it is 25 m long. Considering minor losses (90° elbow, regular), determine the variation of velocity and
height with time if the height h is allowed to vary from an initial value of 2 m to 1.2 m. Assuming that the constant friction factor formulation can be applied.
