Question: d = 7.6 while h = 1.08 Water is siphoned from the tank shown in Figure 1 through a pipe with varying diameter. The water

 d = 7.6 while h = 1.08 Water is siphoned from

d = 7.6 while h = 1.08

Water is siphoned from the tank shown in Figure 1 through a pipe with varying diameter. The water barometer indicates a reading of 10.1 m. With the outlet placed at h below the water level in the tank, analyze if there is any risk of cavitation. Note that the pressure of the vapor in the closed end of the barometer equals the vapor pressure. Value of d and h are to be calculated as in Table 1. Determine the value of d and h at the beginning of your answer. Note: Cavitation occurs when local pressure is lower than vapor pressure P vapor. Pvapor Diameter d 10.1 m 1.8 m h 12.7 cm diameter Figure 1: Water siphoned from tank [15 Marks) Table 1: Variable for Question 1 Variables Value d (cm) d = 7.0 + 0.1*( last digit of your ID ) If ID is ME0714493, d = 7 + 0.1(3) = 7.3 cm h (m) h = 0.7 + 0.005*( last 2 digit of your ID ) If ID is ME0714493, h= 0.7 + 0.005(93) = 1.165 m
