Question 1

А cylindrical holding water tank has a 3 m ID and a height of 3


m. There is one inlet of diameter 10 cm, an exit of diameter 8 cm, and
a drain. The tank is initially empty when the inlet pump is turned on,
producing an average inlet velocity of 5 m/s. When the level in the
tank reaches 0.7 m, the exit pump turns on, causing flow out of the
exit; the exit average velocity is 3 m/s. When the water level reaches 2
m the drain is opened such that the level remains at 2 m. Find (a) the
time at which the exit pump is switched on, (b) the time at which the
drain is opened, and (c) the flow rate into the drain (m³/min).

Question 7

A conical flask contains water to height H= 36.8 mm, where the flask
diameter is D =29.4 mm. Water drains out through a smoothly
rounded hole of diameter d =7.35 mm at the apex of the cone. The
flow speed at the exit is approximately V = √2gy, where y is the
height of the liquid free surface above the hole. A stream of water
flows into the top of the flask at constant volume flow rate, Q
= 3.75 × 107 m³/hr. Find the volume flow rate from the bottom of the
flask. Evaluate the direction and rate of change of water surface level
in the flask at this instant.
