A 50 mm diameter siphon discharges oil (SG=0.88) from a reservoir (elev. 20m) into open air (elev. 15m). The head loss from the reservoir (point 1) to the summit (point 2, elev. 22m) is 2.5 times the velocity head in the siphon and head loss from the summit to the discharge end is 4 times the velocity head in the siphon. What is the absolute pressure at the summit (point 2) assuming the atmospheric pressure to be 101.3 kPa?

A syphon of diameter 200 mm connects two reservoirs having a difference in elevation of 15 m. The total length of the syphon is 600 m and the summit is 4 m above the water level in the upper reservoir. If the separation takes place at 2.8 m of water absolute, find the maximum length of syphon from upper reservoir to the summit. Take f= .004 and atmospheric pressure = 10.3 m of water.
The water tank is below a constant level at depth h rectangular hole a x b. We close the opening with an immersion wall from the upper edge of the hole by a distance x. Given: h = 0.85 m, a = 0.4 m, b = 0.7 m. Determine: by what distance x do we have to move the immersion wall, to reduce the flow 3 times, what will be the flow Q1 at submerged wall by x, Reynolds number Re in flow, nature of flow.
A vertical circular stack 30 m high converges uniformly from a diameter of 6 m at the bottom and 4.5 m at the top.
