PROBLEM 10.59
Situation: Water exits a tank through a short galvanize iron pipe. Dtank = 2 m Dpipe =
26 mm Lpipe = 2.6 m
Fully open angle valve: Kv = 5.0
Find: (a) Time required for the water level in tank to drop from 10 m to 2 m.
Assumptions: The pipe entrance is smooth: Ke ≈ 0
The kinetic energy correction factor in the pipe is α2 = 1.0
APPROACH
Apply the energy equation from the top of the tank (location 1) to the exit of the
angle valve (location 2).
