How do I determine the amount of time taken to empty a large tank full of water?

Physics
1 answer:
mr Goodwill [35]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The tank should be empty in about 2-1/4 hours. Variables: h = elevation of tank D = diameter of tank A = orifice area (ft2) G = gravitational acceleration = 32.2 ft/sec2 ∆t = time required to empty tank (sec) The following formulas are based on turbulent flow of a Newtonian fluid through an outlet (orifice) in a tank.Explanation:Measure the number of liters or gallons in the container, and divide that number by 15. This gives the flow rate in liters per second or gallons per second. The formula is F = V/T, where F is the flow rate, V is the volume and T is the time.=180 s=3 min.

Water, which we can treat as ideal and incompressible, flows at 12 m/s in a horizontal pipe with a pressure of 3.0 x 10^4 Pa. If
frez [133]

Answer:

p2 = 9.8×10^4 Pa

Explanation:

Total pressure is constant and PT = P = 1/2×ρ×v^2  

So p1 + 1/2×ρ×(v1)^2 = p2 + 1/2×ρ×(v2)^2

from continuity we have ρ×A1×v1 = ρ×A2×v2  

v2 = v1×A1/A2  

and  

r2 = 2×r1

then:

A2 = 4×A1  

so,

v2 = (v1)/4  

then:

p2 = p1 + 1/2×ρ×(v1)^2 - 1/2×ρ×(v2)^2 = p1 + 1/2×ρ×(v1)^2 - 1/2×ρ×(v1/4)^2  

p2 = 3.0×10^4 Pa + 1/2×(1000 kg/m^3)×(12m/s)^2 - 1/2×(1000kg/m^3)×(12^2/16)  

     = 9.75×10^4 Pa

    = 9.8×10^4 Pa

Therefore, the pressure in the wider section is 9.8×10^4 Pa

A centrifugal pump rotates at n˙ = 740 rpm. Suppose the pump has some swirl at the inlet (α1 = 10°) and exits at an angle of 35°
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Net head = 380cm

bhp = 17.710kW

Explanation:

Angular velocity of centrifugal pump:

w=\frac{2\pi n}{60}=\frac{2\pi (750)}{60}=78.54\frac{rad}{s}

Normal velocity component at outlet of pump:

V_{2,n}=\frac{V}{2\pi r_{2}b_{2}}=\frac{0.573}{2\pi (0.24)(0.162)}}=2.346\frac{m}{s}

Tangential velocity component at exit of the pump:

V_{2,t}=v_{2,n}tan\alpha _{2}=(2.346)tan(35)=1.643\frac{m}{s}

Normal velocity component at inlet of pump:

V_{1,n}=\frac{V}{2\pi r_{1} b_{1}}=\frac{0.573}{2\pi (0.12)(0.18)}=4.22\frac{m}{s}

Tangential velocity component at inlet of the pump:

V_{1,t}=v_{1,n}tan\alpha _{1}=(4.22)tan(0)=0\frac{m}{s}

Equivalent head in centimetre of water column:

H_{water}=H(\frac{rho_{air}}{rho_{water}})\\\\H_{water}=(\frac{w}{g} )(r_{2}V_{2,t}-r_{1}V_{1,t})(\frac{rho_{air}}{rho_{water}}) \\\\H_{water}=(\frac{78.54}{9.81})((0.24)(1.643)-(0.12)(0)})(\frac{1.2}{998})=38m=380cm

Break horse power:

bhp=rho_{water} gHV=rho_{water} g[(\frac{w}{g})(r_{2}V_{2,t}-r_{1}V_{1,t})]V\\\\bhp=(998)(9.81)[(\frac{78.54}{9.81})((0.24)(1.643)-(0.12)(0))](0.573)=17710W=17.710kW

A rocket takes off from Earth and starts flying to Mars. What happens to the force of gravity between the rocket and Earth as th
lawyer [7]

The force of gravity between Earth and Mars will decrease.

The gravitational law is given as-

           F = G mM/r²

  here,  m= mass of rocket

             M = mass of earth

             r = distance between earth and rocket

So, as rocket takes off from earth and fly towards mars then the distance starts to increase between earth and rocket, and the gravitational pull between them starts to weaken. Then a point will reach when rocket will far from gravity of earth and could probably enter the gravity of Mars.

A hockey puck sliding on a frictionless surface strikes a box at rest. After the collision, the two objects stick together and m
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Answer:

f) The puck conserves its original momentum but loses some, but not all, of its mechanical energy.

 Explanation:

It is a case of perfectly inelastic collision . So momentum will be conserved because no external force acts on them during the collision . But there will be loss of energy ( kinetic energy ) . It will be in the form of sound or heat that is produced during collision. They will still have some kinetic energy even after the collision.
