Three tanks that are located at different heights of a hill are connected. Go through the following steps very carefully, ✓ sketch the network, ✓ list your assumptions, ✓ indicate the energy and hydraulic grade lines on a clear sketch,
Three tanks that are located at different heights of a hill are connected. Go through the following steps
very carefully,
✓ sketch the network,
✓ list your assumptions,
✓ indicate the energy and hydraulic grade lines on a clear sketch,
✓ list your working and design parameters,
✓ define the required balance equations,
✓ compute the flowrates on each pipeline,
✓ if you had enough funding to build up setup and investigate this network experimentally, what
kind of equipment should you purchase to validate your theoretical computations and what kind
of measurements you should carry out? Please explain.
✓ No doubt that there will be some discrepancies between the experimental measurements and
theoretical computations. What would you say about possible reasons for such differences? Please
explain.
Your answer should include the following items very clearly:
• show your detailed schematics,
• indicate your reductions and assumptions clearly before going through the calculations,
• list the materials and auxiliary devices equipment that should be used in your systems,
• define the balance equations and indicate the forces/mass fluxes and all other parameters on
your control volumes,
• show your step-by-step calculations to support your statements and evaluate the required
numerical outputs,
• prepare a reference list and properly cite the sources in your report.
