Water is siphoned from a reservoir open to the atmosphere by a pipe with diameter D. total length L. and friction factor f as shown in Fig. 8-159. Atmospheric pressure is 99.27 kPa. Minor losses may be ignored. (a) Verify the following equation for the ratio of exit velocity for the siphon with nozzle to the e>it velocity for the siphon without the nozzle. VD/VC
Calculate its value for L = 28 m. h1 = 1.8 m, h2 = 12m. D = l2 cm, d = 3 cm, and f= 0.02.
(b) Show that static pressure at B in the siphon with the nozzle is greater and the velocity is smaller with respect to the siphon without the nozzle. Explain how this situation can be useful with respect to flow physics.
(e) Determine the maximum value of h2 in the piping system to avoid cavitation. The density and vapor pressure of water are p = 1000 kg/m3 and Pv = 4.25 kPa, and L1 = 4 in.
