Referring to the figure below, the tank is being filled with water by two one- dimensional inlets. Air is trapped at the top of the tank. The water height is h. Compute for dh/dt if D₁ 1 in, D₂ = 3 in, V₁ = 3 ft/s, V₂ = 2 ft/s, and At = 2 ft² (tank surface area). The change in water height is obtained from the relation;

Transcribed Image Text:The pump-turbine system in the figure draws water from the upper
reservoir in the daytime to produce power for a city. At night, it pumps
water from lower to upper reservoirs to restore the situation. For a
design flow rate of 33.4 cfs (ft³/s), the friction head loss is 17 ft.
Estimate the power in horsepower delivered by the pump (W
