5. The water in an 8-m-diameter, 3-m-high above-ground swimming pool is to be emptied by unplugging a 3-cm-diameter, 25-m-long h

orizontal pipe attached to the bottom of the pool. Determine the maximum discharge rate of water through the pipe. Also, explain why the actual flow rate will be less.

Answer:

The maximum discharge rate of water through the pipe is 0.00545 m³/s or 5.45 L/s.

Friction head and pressure head will cause the actual flow rate to be less.

Explanation:

Considering point 1 at the free surface of the pool, and point 2 at the exit of

pipe.

Using Bernoulli equation between

these two points simplifies to

P1/(p*g) + V1²/2g + z1 = P2/(p*g) + V2²/2g + z2

Let the reference level at the pipe exit (z2 = 0). Noting that the fluid at both points is open to the atmosphere (and thus P1 = P2 = Patm) and that the fluid velocity at the free surface is very low (V1 ≅ 0),

P/(p*g) + z1 = P/(p*g) + V2²/2g

z1 = V2²/2g

Note; z1 = h

V2max = √2gh

h = 3 m

V2max = √2 * 9.81 * 3

V2max = √58.86 = 7.67 m/s

maximum discharge rate of water through the pipe Qmax = Area A * Velocity of discharge V2max

Qmax = A * V2max

Diameter d = 3 cm = 0.03 m

A = Πd²/4 = (Π * 0.03²)/4 = 0.00071m³

Qmax = 0.00071 * 7.67 = 0.00545 m³/s

Qmax = 5.45 L/s

The maximum discharge rate of water through the pipe is 0.00545 m³/s or 5.45 L/s.

Actual flow rate will be less because of heads such as friction head and pressure head.
