Yes, the author means that the inflowing water effectively becomes stilled by the water in the tank.foo9008 said:
why the water will become ' stilled' ?haruspex said:
Water has some viscosity. It becomes mixed with the water in the tank, sharing its momentum.foo9008 said:
Loss of head at submerged discharge is a hydraulic phenomenon that occurs when water flows through a pipe or channel and experiences a decrease in pressure due to changes in the flow path or other factors.
There are several factors that can contribute to loss of head at submerged discharge, including frictional losses from the roughness of the pipe or channel walls, changes in flow direction, and energy losses due to turbulence or eddies in the flow.
The most common method for calculating loss of head at submerged discharge is the Darcy-Weisbach equation, which takes into account the velocity, diameter, and roughness of the pipe or channel, as well as the fluid properties and any changes in elevation.
Loss of head at submerged discharge can significantly impact flow rate, as it represents a decrease in the energy of the flowing water. This decrease in energy can result in a decrease in flow rate, which can have implications for the efficiency and effectiveness of a hydraulic system.
There are several ways to minimize loss of head at submerged discharge, including using smoother pipes or channels, reducing changes in flow direction, and keeping the flow rate within a certain range. Regular maintenance and cleaning of hydraulic systems can also help to prevent buildup of debris or other factors that can contribute to loss of head.
