Q. 25. A conical draft tube having diameter at the top as 2m and pressure head at 7m of water (vacuum), discharges water at the outlet with a velocity 1.2m/sec at the rate of 25 m³/sec. If atmospheric pressure head is 10.3 m of water and lanes between the inlet and outlet of the draft-tubes are negligible. Find the length of draft-tubes immersed in water. Total length of tube is 5m.
