Question

The oil level in a tank is 2 m above the ground. The tank cover is air tight and the air pressure above the oil surface is 150 kPa gage.

The specific gravity of the oil is 0.88 a. Determine the flow velocity at the nozzle outflow. Assume inviscid, irrotational flow. In your discussion, compare this velocity to your values in Problem 5 of Homework 1. b. Determine the maximum height to which the oil stream could rise. (Answer: 19.4 m)
