Chapter 4: Problem 44

A cylindrical tank, \(0.3 \mathrm{m}\) in diameter, drains through a hole in its bottom. At the instant when the water depth is \(0.6 \mathrm{m}\) the flow rate from the tank is observed to be \(4 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{s}\). Determine the rate of change of water level at this instant.

Short Answer

Expert verified
After following the steps, the rate of change of the water level is found by calculating \( dh/dt \). This gives the rate at which the water level is dropping at the given moment in m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Derive the equation for the volume of water in the tank

The volume inside a cylindrical tank can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a cylinder: \( V = \pi r^2 h \), where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height. Here, the diameter of the cylindrical tank is given as 0.3 m, so the radius is \( r = 0.3 / 2 = 0.15 \) m. The height is given as 0.6 m. Substitute \( r = 0.15 \) m and \( h = 0.6 \) m into the equation to find \( V \).
02

Convert the mass flow rate to a volume flow rate

The problem gives a mass flow rate of 4 kg/s, and we need to convert this into a volume flow rate (m^3/s). This can be done using the formula \( Q = \dot{m} / \rho \), where \( Q \) is the volume flow rate, \( \dot{m} \) is the mass flow rate, and \( \rho \) is the density of water. Assuming a density of 1000 kg/m^3 for water, the volume flow rate can be calculated.
03

Find the rate of change of the water level

The amount of water leaving the tank per second equals to the volume flow rate and is equal to the amount by which the volume of the water in the tank is reducing per second. So \( Q = - dV/dt = - \pi r^2 dh/dt \), where \( dh/dt \) is the rate at which the water height is changing. Rearrange for \( dh/dt \) to give \( dh/dt = - Q / (\pi r^2) \). Substitute the values calculated in the previous steps and solve for \( dh/dt \).

\( \mathrm{A}\) small round object is tested in a 0.75 -m diameter wind tunnel. The pressure is uniform across sections (D and (2). The upstream pressure is \(30 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (gage), the downstream pressure is \(15 \mathrm{mm} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) (gage), and the mean air speed is \(12.5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). The velocity profile at section (2) is linear; it varies from zero at the tunnel centerline to a maximum at the tunnel wall. Calculate (a) the mass flow rate in the wind tunnel, (b) the maximum velocity at section \((2),\) and \((\mathrm{c})\) the drag of the object and its supporting vane. Neglect viscous resistance at the tunnel wall.

Water flows steadily through a fire hose and nozzle. The hose is \(75 \mathrm{mm}\) inside diameter, and the nozzle tip is \(25 \mathrm{mm}\) ID; water gage pressure in the hose is \(510 \mathrm{kPa}\), and the stream leaving the nozzle is uniform. The exit speed and pressure are \(32 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) and atmospheric, respectively. Find the force transmitted by the coupling between the nozzle and hose. Indicate whether the coupling is in tension or compression.

\( \mathrm{A}\) pump draws water from a reservoir through a 150-mm-diameter suction pipe and delivers it to a \(75-\mathrm{mm}\) diameter discharge pipe. The end of the suction pipe is \(2 \mathrm{m}\) below the free surface of the reservoir. The pressure gage on the discharge pipe \((2 \mathrm{m}\) above the reservoir surface) reads 170 kPa. The average speed in the discharge pipe is \(3 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\). If the pump efficiency is 75 percent, determine the power required to drive it.

Incompressible fluid flows steadily through a plane diverging channel, At the inlet, of height \(H,\) the flow is uniform with magnitude \(V_{1}\). At the outlet, of height \(2 H\), the velocity profile is \\[ V_{2}=V_{m} \cos \left(\frac{\pi y}{2 H}\right) \\] where \(y\) is measured from the channel centerline. Express \(V_{m}\) in terms of \(V_{1}\)

A small lawn sprinkler is shown. The sprinkler operates al a gage pressure of \(140 \mathrm{kPa}\). The total flow rate of water through the sprinkler is 4 L \(/\) min. Each jet discharges at \(17 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) (relative to the sprinkler arm) in a direction inclined \(30^{\circ}\) above the horizontal. The sprinkler rotates about a vertical axis. Friction in the bearing causes a torque of \(0.18 \mathrm{N}\). \(\mathrm{m}\) opposing rotation. Evaluate the torque required to hold the sprinkler stationary.
