Q.

A tube of uniform cross-section is used to siphon water from a vessel, as shown in the figure. Assuming that the cross – section of the vessel is very much greater than that of the tube, find the maximum value of height  h1 (in m), for which the siphon will work. [Take h2=3m, atmospheric pressure  Patm=105Nm2, density of water ρ=1000kgm3 and acceleration due to gravity  g=10ms2 ]

Detailed Solution

 PA=1×105Nm-2,h2=3m
Let p be the density of the water and Patm  be the atmospheric pressure at A and B openings. Applying Bernoulli’s theorem for stream line motion,
PA=P1+12ρv12+ρgh1,  where p1,v1  are pressure and velocity at point C, at a height h1  below the topmost point on the tube,
Since the tube is of uniform cross-section and the liquid is incompressible,
Flow speed at C = flow speed at B 
From Torricelli’s theorem between A and B,
 VB=2gh2=v1 P1PA12ρ×2gh2ρgh1 PApg(h1+hg)
 Now pressure at C should be greater than or equal to zero (for negative pressure, water could not reach the )
For maximum h1,p1  should be minimum, equal to zero.
 h1=PAρg-h2=1×105103×10-3=7m
