A simple rainwater collector used for home garden use is show below. It is
comprised of an open-air water tank, a "compliant" or flexible tube, and a valve.
To avoid overflow, the valve is set to open when the water in the tank reaches a
height of 2m. The valve rests on the ground 3m beneath the tank's base. The
outlet of the valve is open to atmosphere.
a) Calculate the pressure at the bottom of the tank when the valve automatically
opens.
b) Calculate the pressure at the valve when it automatically opens.
c) Assuming inviscid flow, estimate the average velocity of the water flowing
through the tube at the moment when the valve automatically opens. ASsume
that the tank is very large compared to the tube, so that the velocity of the water
at the top of the tank is zero. Assume that the valve provides no resistance to
flow when opened.
d) Using your answer to part c), calculate the rate of discharge in kg/s when the
valve automatically opens.
