Transcribed Image Text:

Oil with SG = 0.80 is discharged from a reservoir (elev. 15 m) into open air (elev. 10 m) by means of a 50 mm diameter siphon. The head loss from the reservoir to the summit (elev. 20 m) is 1.0 m and from the summit to the discharge end is 1.5 m. Calculate: a. The rate of flow in Liters per second b. The absolute pressure at the summit in kPa. Oil with SG = 0.80 is discharged from a reservoir (elev. 15 m) into open air (elev. 10 m) by means of a 50 mm diameter siphon.

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

To calculate the rate of flow in liters per second we can use the Bernoullis equation and the principle of conservation of energy The Bernoullis equation states P V2g h P V2g h where P and P are the p... View the full answer
