Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli’s equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

Short Answer

Answer

  1. The discharge rate is, 0.20 m3/s .
  2. The gauge pressure at point 2 is, 6.97 x 104 Pa.

Step by step solution

01

Step-by-Step Solution Step 1: Identification of the given data

The given data can be listed below as,

  • The elevation of point 1 is, h1= 10.0m .
  • The elevation of point 2 and 3 is.h2= h3= 2.0m .
  • The cross-sectional area at point 2 is, A2= 0.0480m2 .
  • The cross-sectional area at point 3 is. A3= 0.0160m2.

Determination of the discharge rate

Part (a)

The speed of efflux is expressed as,

v=2gh

Here h is the distance of the hole below the surface of the fluid, and g is the gravitational acceleration.

The elevation at point 3 is,

h=h1−h3

The velocity at point 3 is expressed as,

v3=2gh1−h3

Here, v3 is the velocity of water at point 3.

The discharge rate at point 3 is expressed as,

QË™=A3v3

Substitute the value of v3 in the above equation.

Q˙=A3v3Q˙=A3×2gh1−h3

Substitute 0.0160″¾2forA3,9.81″¾/s2forg, 10.0 m for h1 and 2.0 m for h3 in the above equation.

QË™=0.0160″¾2×2×9.81″¾/s2×10.0″¾-2.0″¾=0.0160″¾2×2×9.81″¾/s2×8.0″¾=0.0160″¾2×12.52″¾/s=0.20″¾3/s

Hence the discharge rate is 0.20 m3/s.

03

Determination of the gauge pressure at point 2

Part (b)

At the point 3 the pressure is atmospheric and point 2 the pressure is gauge pressure. The elevation for both points is same then, it is expressed as,

p2+12ÒÏv22+ÒÏgh2=p3+12ÒÏv32+ÒÏgh3p2=12ÒÏv32−v22=12ÒÏv321−v22v32

Here, v2 is the velocity of water at point 2.

For the continuity equation at point 2 and 3 is expressed as,

A2v2=A3v3v2v3=A3A2

Here A2 and A3 are the area at point 2 and 3.

This above equation put in gauge pressure equation.

p2=12ÒÏv321−A3A22

Substitute v3=2gh1−h3 in the above equation.

p2=12×ÒÏ×2gh1−h3×1−A3A22

Substitute 0.0160 m2 for A3 , 0.0480m2 for A2 , 9.81 m/s2for g, 1000kg/m3for ÒÏ , 10.0 m for h1and 2.0 for h3in the above equation.

p2=12×ÒÏ×2gh1−h3×1−0.0160″¾20.0480″¾22=89×ÒÏ×gh1−h3=89×1000 k²µ/m3×9.81″¾/s2×10.0″¾âˆ’2.0″¾=6.97×104 P²¹

Hence, the gauge pressure at point 2 is 6.97 x 104 Pa .
