Here, the 20 degree celcius water is siphoned from a reservoir. How would I establish the minimum flow rate that can be achieved without cavitation occuring in the pipe system at points 2 and 3? What is the maximum elevation of the highest point of the piping system to avoid cavitation?
The reservoir's water flow traverses a 15-meter-long spillway, lowering the water's height from 83 meters to 81.5 meters, with the crest elevation at 80 meters, in 30 minutes. Apply C = 1.84. A) What is the reservoir's area?B) How long does it take to extract water from an elevation of 83 m/80.2 m? C) After 20 minutes, what is the water's ultimate elevation?
A vertical circular tank that is 1,5 m high, has sloping sides. The tank is 50 m and 30 m in the top and bottom diameters respectively. Discharge takes place through a triangular orifice situated at the bottom of the tank. The orifice has a base of 0,8 m long, 0,5 m below it's vertex. If the tank is originally full of water, what time is required to empty the tank? Take discharge coefficient as 0,63.
