Chapter 5, Problem 5.99

(choose chapter or problem)

A siphon is used to draw water at 70 F from a large containeras indicated in Fig. P5.99. The inside diameter of the siphon lineis 1 in. and the pipe centerline rises 3 ft above the essentially constantwater level in the tank. Show that by varying the length of thesiphon below the water level, h, the rate of flow through the siphoncan be changed. Assuming frictionless flow, determine the maximumflowrate possible through the siphon. The limiting conditionis the occurrence of cavitation in the siphon. Will the actual maximumflow be more or less than the frictionless value? Explain.
