A suction device is arranged as shown in Fig. 3. Find the required flowrate through the main pipe that will raise the water up to the point O .

2 Al = 0.5 in (2 Air Jet A2=2A. suction pipe ft Fig. 3 water.:\'.

Solution

V= (2*32.4*1)^0.5

=8.05 ft/s

flow rate = area * velocity

=0.5*8.05*12

=48.3 in³/s
