Example 1) Water flows steadily from a large tank and exits through a vertical, constant diameter pipe as shown below. The air in the tank is pressurized to 50 kPa (gage). Assuming frictionless flow determine: a. The height, h, to which the water rises. (3 marks) b. The velocity of the water in the pipe. (2 marks) c. The pressure in the horizontal section of pipe. (2 marks) d. If the air pressure is doubled, what is the new height? (2 marks) e. How is h affected by headlosses. (1 mark) The density of water may be taken as p = 1000 kg/m'. Pipe exit 50 Nm Air 4 m Water 2 m
