In order to build a water tank, there are several parameters that must be include such as the
general design of the tank, choice of materials of construction, as well as the following.
1. Location of the water tank (indoors, outdoors, above ground or underground) determines
3. Purpose for which the water will be used, human consumption or industrial determines
concerns for materials that do not have side effects for humans.
4. How is the water to be delivered to the point of use, into and out of the water tank such as
For the water that we chose at UMP, It use elevated type water tank because of it have many
advantages. Elevated tanks do not require the continuous operation of pumps to maintain the
pressure for supply the water. Short term pump shutdown does not affect water pressure
in the distribution system since the pressure is maintained by gravity. And strategic
location of the tank can equalize water pressures in the distribution system. However, precise
in the tank. A nearly empty tank probably will not provide enough pressure while a
completely full tank may provide too much pressure P=pgh. The optimal pressure is
The optimal depth of water for the purpose of producing pressure is even more specific for
stand pipes than for tanks elevated on legs. The length of the standpipe causes continual and
highly unequal pressures on the distribution system. In addition, a significant quantity of the
What we can relate with the water tank is during a steady-flow process, the total amount of
mass contained within the control volume water tank does not change with time (mCV=
constant). Then the conservation of mass principle requires that the total amount of mass
entering a control volume equal the total amount of mass leaving it. When dealing with
steady-flow processes, we are not interested in the amount of mass that flows in or out of a
device over time; instead, we are interested in the amount of mass flowing per unit time, that
is, the mass flow rate ṁ. The conservation of mass principle for a general steady-flow system
with multiple inlets and outlets can be expressed in rate form as it states that the total rate of
mass entering a control volume is equal to the total rate of mass leaving it.
Solution:
Diameter of pipe 1 (d1) = 40mm = 0.04m
C/S Area of pipe 1 (A1) =π/4x0.042 = 0.001257 m2
Diameter of pipe 2 (d2) = 60mm = 0.06m
Area of pipe at section2 (A2) = π/4x0.062 = 0.002827 m2
Velocity of pipe at section1 (V1) = 5m/s
Q3 = 0.012 m3/s
Exit velocity (v2) = ?
