Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 52SDP
The optimum shape of a riser is spherical to ensure that it cools more slowly than the casting it feeds; however, spherically shaped risers are difficult to cast, (a) Sketch the shape of a blind riser that is easy to mold, but also has the smallest possible surface-area-to-volume ratio. (b) Compare the solidification time of the riser in part (a) with that of a riser shaped like a right circular cylinder. Assume that the volume of each riser is the same and the height of each is equal to the diameter. (See Example 10.1.)

Did you assume that the pressures in fluid are the same in a horizontal plane even though they are in different tubes? Are the calculated pressures in a column of fluid always higher at lower elevations? Did you account for the fact that the two horizontal tubes of the U-tube are above the ground? Concepts: The pressure in a fluid is a function of the specific weight of the fluid and the height relative to a reference. Pressure is constant in a horizontal plane of a continuous mass of fluid.
