QUESTION:

Two very large open tanks A and F (Fig. P12.93) contain the same liquid. A horizontal pipe BCD, having a constriction at C and open to the air at D, leads out of the bottom of tank A, and a vertical pipe E opens into the constriction at C and dips into the liquid in tank F. Assume streamline flow and no viscosity. If the cross-sectional area at C is one-half the area at D and if D is a distance below the level of the liquid in A, to what height will liquid rise in pipe E? Express your answer in terms of h1.

Problem 12.93

Two very large open tanks A and F (Fig. P12.93) contains the same liquid. A horizontal pipe BCD, having a constriction at C and open to the air at D, leads out of the bottom of tank A, and a vertical pipe E opens into the constriction at C and dips into the liquid in tank F. Assume streamline flow and no viscosity. If the cross-sectional area at C is one-half the area at D and if D is a distance below the level of the liquid in A, to what height will liquid rise in pipe E? Express your answer in terms of h1.

                                                              Step by Step Solution

Step 1 of 3

The continuity equation at point C and D is:

The speed of efflux at the end of constriction D, is

 is the height of the liquid at point A:

The cross sectional area at D is twice that at point C, hence the speed of efflux at C is twice of the speed of efflux at D, hence:
