A large tank holds an unknown fluid with a depth of 40 ft . The figure below shows that the
unknown fluid is being siphoned from the tank with a hose that has a 6-inch diameter. The
unknown fluid flows out of the hose 8 ft below the fluid surface. A manometer is attached to
the right side of the tank and uses SAE 30 oil as its gauge fluid.
A) What is the unknown fluid in the tank if the manometer readings are h1=10in,h2=6
in,h3=18 in, and h4=6in?
B) What is the velocity exiting the hose if d=12in?
C) What is the flow rate exiting the hose if d=12in?
D) Where does the minimum pressure occur in the hose and what does the minimum
pressure equal if d=12 in?
E) What is the maximum elevation, d, the hose can be elevated above the fluid surface
before the hose collapses if the tube collapses at -24 psi ?
Use the general form of the Bernoulli equation and state why/how terms are simplified.
Show all of your work. Include correct units in the final answer (do not convert units from
English to SI units then back to English!). Clearly mark any points used in your solution on
the figure. Note: you do not need to re-sketch the figure in your solution.
