Consider a compressed gas tank weighing 106 lb, 4.0 ft long, and pressurized to 2200 psig. Assume a = 1 and h/= Ptank/2y. What would happen if this tank were knocked over, creating a½ in hole, at the end of the tank, through which gas flowed perpendicular to the tank's axis? Part A
Draw a sketch of this situation. Make it large, as it will be referenced in your calculations. Part B
Write Bernoulli's equation for a streamline connecting Point 1, inside the cylinder, to Point 2, just outside the orifice. Label your sketch so that your figure matches your equation. Part C
What is the fluid velocity as the gas exits the tank? (equation) Part D
What is the resulting force on the tank?
