Question

[8 points][2] Negative Pressure (P4.2.5)A 20-cm, 300-m-long smooth concrete pipe carries water (20°C) from reservoir A to B as shown. The pipe is elevatedat S, which is 150 m downstream

from reservoir A (assume pipe length from A to S is 150 m). The water surface inreservoir B is 25 m below the water surface in reservoir A, and flow is complete turbulence. Minor losses areconsidered for entrance (A), the gate valve fully open, and exit (B). If As = 7.0 m, is cavitation a concern? Show yourcalculation.
