Question: Assess whether it is possible for a siphon system to operate, as shown. Chloroform (40 C, sg = 1.452, psat = 62 kPa (abs))
Assess whether it is possible for a siphon system to operate, as shown. Chloroform (40 C, sg = 1.452, psat = 62 kPa (abs)) is to be drained via a DN 50 Sch Std steel pipe. Provide a specific statement / comparison (with supporting calculations) to whether or not the siphon will function. As well, FOR EITHER CASE based on your findings (i.e. siphon works, siphon does not work) provide a specific piping design change (e.g. change of height "B" or "D", or pipe size) to the siphon (with supporting calculations), which will allow the siphon to function, or cause the siphon to stop functioning. 3.0 m 10.0 m 25-mm diameter
