A tank of water is emptied by the force of gravitythrough a syphon. The difference in water levels between the twotanks is 3 m and the highest point of the syphon is 2 m above thetop surface level and the length of the pipe from inlet to thehighest point is 2.5 m. The pipe is designed with a bore of 25 mmand the length 6 m. The pipe frictional coefficient is 0.007 andthe inlet loss coefficient K is 0.7. Calculate the following:
4.1 the volume flow rate and,
4.2 the pressure at the highest point in the pipe
