Suppose at an instant water is filled up to height h. The differential equation governing the height h is by mass balance (in this case volume balance because density is constant):-
where is the vertex angle of the cone, R is the constant flowrate of water added to tank and a is the area of the leak. Simplifying:-
Note that I have assumed t=0 instant corresponding to when the leaking starts. So the water added by the first 10 sec is
which make initial volume = 4 gallon. This implies that h_0 is given by
To do any further analysis, the area of leak is required and the angle theta as well
Although it is more probable that the tank is going to over flow because the leak rate is likely to be very small.
Suppose a conical tank (think of an ice cream cone, point down) has a capacity of...
The conical tank (inverted – think of an ice cream cone) with height of 5 ft and the top base radius of 3 ft is fully filled with gasoline weighing 42 lb/ft?. How much work does it take to pump the gas to the level 2 ft above the cone's rim? (Imagine the top of the tank is 2 ft below the ground and you want to pump gas to the ground level).
(10 pts) 2. The conical tank (inverted – think of an ice cream cone) with height of 5 ft and the top base radius of 3 ft is fully filled with gasoline weighing 42 lb/ft?. How much work does it take to pump the gas to the level 2 ft above the cone's rim? (Imagine the top of the tank is 2 ft below the ground and you want to pump gas to the ground level).
A conical tank of radius R and height H, pointed end down, is full of water. A small hole of radius r is opened at the bottom of the tank, with r, much much less than, R so that the tank drains slowly. Find an expression for the time T it takes to drain the tank completely. Hint 1: use Bernoulli’s equation to relate the flow speed from the hole to the height of the water in the cone. Hint...
A cone-shaped tank with the tip down has a radius of 10 ?? and a height of 20 ??. We lead water into the tank at an inflow rate of 1 liter per minute. Calculate the growth rate of the area of the water surface when the water depth is 8 dm.
Suppose that a tank containing a certain liquid has an outlet near the bottom. Let h(t) denote the height of the liquid's surface above the outlet. Torricelli's principle states that the outflow velocity v at the outlet is equal to the velocity of a particle falling freely (with no drag) from the height h (a) Show that v2gh, where g is the acceleration due to gravity. (b) By equating the rate of outflow to the rate of change of liquid...
10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
