Question: 2 . ( 3 5 Points ) The gage pressure in a sealed water storage tank ( left ( mathrm { p
Points The gage pressure in a sealed water storage tank leftmathrmpright is kPa and has an exit orifice at the bottom of the tank for the water to discharge. The water level in the tank leftmathrmhright is m above the outlet. The water discharges into a pipe of diameter cm that flows horizontally and then rises to a new height, labeled point in the figure below. The flow is then converged to a new pipe diameter of cm and then the flow is discharged to the atmosphere at a height leftmathrmhright of m above the tank exit orifice. The height ratio between mathrmh and h is : lefth hright A mercury manometer is connected across the diverging section that records a differential height leftmathrmhmathrmmright of m Neglect frictional effects throughout the system and note that the density of water is mathrm~kgmathrmm and the specific gravity of mercury is
a What is the discharge rate out of the system to the atmosphere in L mathrms
b What is the dynamic pressure at state
c What is the gage pressure at state
d Sketch in box below the energy grade line EGL and hydraulic grade line HGL between the water surface in the tank through the discharge location at point
