Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the siphon (cm3/s), assuming that L = 100 cm, ∆z = 80 cm, and that there is no friction in the tube (wf = 0). In order to get the volumetric flow rate, you must first calculate uavg.
Siphoning, the process of using a tube to carry a liquid over a barrier and to a lower location, can be described well by the mechanical energy equation. In this assignment you will analyse siphoning behaviour theoretically, and then will carry out an experiment using a plastic bottle and length of tubing provided to you. […]
