Chapter 4 Problem 4.98

Question

This closed tank, which is 4ft in diameter, is filled with water (p = 62.4 lbm/ft3 ) and is spun around its vertical centroidal axis at a rate of 10 rad!s. An open piezometer is connected to the tank as shown so that it is also rotating with the tank. For these conditions, what is the pressure at the center of the bottom of the tank?

Solution

Step 1 of 5)

The first step in solving 4 problem number 98 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: This closed tank, which is 4ft in diameter, is filled with water (p = 62.4 lbm/ft3 ) and is spun around its vertical centroidal axis at a rate of 10 rad!s. An open piezometer is connected to the tank as shown so that it is also rotating with the tank. For these conditions, what is the pressure at the center of the bottom of the tank?
From the textbook chapter THE BERNOULLI EQUATION AND PRESSURE VARIATION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
