Question: Part C . A siphon device drawing water from a large tank is required to have a water discharge flowrate of 4 . 0 ft

Part C.
A siphon device drawing water from a large tank is required to have a water discharge
flowrate of 4.0ft^(3)//s at 68)F. The diameter of the tube is 4 inches and the highest point of
the tube is 5 ft above the free water. Assuming the flow is frictionless, determine:
a. The discharge velocity in ft//s.
b. The minimum height (in ft ) below the free water surface for the point of
discharge to meet the required flowrate.
c. The pressure at the highest point of the tube in psi (pound per square
inches).
d. How long would it take for the discharge flow to fill up ten 55-gal barrels
(total volume of 550 gallons)?
Part C . A siphon device drawing water from a
