Answer:
18.62 m/s
Explanation:
Given that:
A liquid with a density of 900 kg/m 3 is stored in a pressurized, closed storage tank.
Diameter of the tank = 10 m
The absolute pressure in the tank above the liquid is 200 kPa = 200, 000 Pa
At pressure of 200 kPa ; the final velocity = 0
Atmospheric pressure at 5cm = 101325 Pa
We are to calculate the initial velocity of a fluid jet when a 5cm diameter orifice is opened at point A?
By using Bernoulli's theorem between the shaded portion in the diagram;
we have:
where;
Pa = atmospheric pressure = 101325 Pa
= density of liquid = 900 kg/m³
= initial velocity = ???
g = 9.8 m/s²
= height of the hole from the buttom
= height of the liquid surface from the button
Thus, the initial velocity of the fluid jet = 18.62 m/s
