Question: Tetrachloroethylene ( TCE ) at 2 0 C flows into a large tank at a rate of 3 . 9 3 k g s .

Tetrachloroethylene (TCE) at 20C flows into a large tank at a rate of 3.93kgs. The dense liquid has a density of 1620kgm3. A 2.1cm-diameter hole at the bottom of the tank allows TCE to escape at a velocity U that follows the Bernoulli equation from a stagnant (zero velocity) point on the surface of the water in the tank. Pressure at the TCE surface is atmospheric; and the prespure of the TCE just below the drain hole is also atmospheric.
7ms(a) Determine the steady outlet velocity. This is the point at which the flow out of the tank equals the flow into the tank - the mass flow out through the drain is therefore 3.93kgs.
(b) Determine the Bernoulli unit of pressure, corresponding to the outlet velocity.
2.5m
(c) Determine the steady height of TCE in the tank.
