Question
Water at 20 oC is pumped at a rate of 9.0 m3/h from a large tank resting on the floor
(open to the atmosphere) to the top of an absorption tower, 5.0 m above the floor. The
discharge is at atmospheric pressure. The pipe is 50 mm ID, and the friction losses are 2.5
J/kg. The pump can supply 0.1 kW to the fluid. Find the minimum water level in the tank that
you can achieve with a pump with that power.

The siphon is a hose with a small diameter and to start the action it is necessary to insert one end into the tank full of gasoline, fill the hose with it through suction and then put the other end in a can that is placed under the tank level. The difference in pressure between point 1 (on the free surface of the gasoline in the tank) and point 2 (at the outlet of the tube) causes the liquid to flow from the highest elevation to the lowest. In this case, point 2 is located 0.75 m below point 1, and point 3 is 2 m above 1. The siphon diameter is 4 mm and friction losses in it must be ruled out. Determine: a) theminimum time to bring 4 L of gasoline from the tank to the can and b) the pressure at point 3. The density of the gasoline is 750 kg / m3.arrow_forward
