Ans : Bernoulli's principle states for incompressible non-viscous flow that
p/Ď + gâ™h + (1/2)â™v² = constant
Evaluate the equation along a stream line from liquid surface of the reservoir (1) to the inlet of the pipe
pâ‚/Ď + gâ™hâ‚ + (1/2)â™v₲ = pâ‚‚/Ď + gâ™hâ‚‚ + (1/2)â™v₂²
=>
vâ‚‚ = âš[ 2â™(pâ‚-pâ‚‚)/Ď + 2â™gâ™(hâ‚-hâ‚‚) + v₲ ]
lets make some assumptions:
- the pressure at the liquid surface is equal to the atmospheric pressure
pâ‚ = 1atm = 101325Pa
- the velocity of the liquid at the surface (that is the speed at which the liquid level in reservoir decreases) is quite small, so it may be ignored:
v₠≠0
So
vâ‚‚ = âš[ 2â™(pâ‚-pâ‚‚)/Ď + 2â™gâ™(hâ‚-hâ‚‚) ]
The height difference is fixed. So the only variable remaining is the pressure in the pipe. As higher it is as lower the velocity in the pipe is.
So you get the maximum velocity for the minimum pressure.
Since pressure cannot drop below zero this is
pâ‚‚ = 0
Therefore
vâ‚‚max = âš[ pâ‚/Ď + gâ™(hâ‚-hâ‚‚) ]
= âš[ 2â™101325Pa/1000kg/mÂł + 2â™9.81m/s²â™12m ]
= 20.93m/s
