Homework Statement
A water tank of 500litres is to deliver 1liter of water per hour to 3 locations each 15meters from the tank.
2. Homework Equations , i think...
Reynolds number?
Pressure? = pAhg/A of base
Flow rate = volume/time
Average velocity = flow rate / cross sectional area
Density = mass /volume
And another I am sure which I am unsure of?
The Attempt at a Solution
Volume = mass/ density
0.003m3 = 3kg (1 litre of water to 3 locations) / 1000kg/m3
Flow rate = volume / time
833x10-9 m3/s = 0.003/ 3600 (seconds in an hour)
My only problem with this is that I am unsure of how to work out the speed of flow & diameter of the pipework.
But also how do I ensure that there is enough pressure to keep the flowing going for 15meters?
Any support or guidance would be much appreciated, I've been racking my mind for hours.
