Water is stored in a tank which has vent open to the atmosphere. The water level is 1.0 m below the top the tank and the water is 4 m deep. A siphon with. 03 m ID is used to remove water from the tank. The siphon discharge is 6.0 m below the top of the tank. Neglect the friction loss of water through the siphon. Determine the flow rate of water in unit of m^3/s.

    6.99 x 10⁻³ m³ / s

    Explanation:

    Th e pressure difference at the two ends of the delivery pipe due to atmospheric pressure and water column will cause flow of water.

    h = difference in the height of water column at two ends of delivery pipe

    6 - 1 = 5 m

    Velocity of flow of water

    v = √2gh

    = √ (2 x 9.8 x 5)

    = 9.9 m / s

    Volume of water flowing per unit time

    velocity x cross sectional area

    = 9.9 x 3.14 x. 015²

    = 6.99 x 10⁻³ m³ / s
