MM301 FLUID MECHANICS Problem Set 3

1) 3.48 A 50-mm-diameter plastic tube is used to siphon water from the large tank shown in Fig. P3.48. If the pressure on the outside of the tube is more than 30 kPa greater than the pressure within the tube, the tube will collapse and the siphon will stop. If viscous effects are negligible, determine the minimum value of h allowed without the siphon stopping.

4)

2) 3.52 Water flows steadily downward through the pipe shown in Fig. P3.52. Viscous effects are negligible, and the pressure gage indicates the pressure is zero at point (1). Determine the flow rate and the pressure at point (2).
