The discussion revolves around the physics of fluid flow in a water bottle with a small hole at the bottom and a valve at the top. Participants explore the conditions under which water flows out of the bottle and the implications of air pressure in the system.
Participants do not reach a consensus on the explanations for the observed phenomena, and multiple viewpoints regarding the mechanics of fluid flow and air pressure remain unresolved.
There are limitations in the discussion regarding assumptions about air pressure dynamics and the specific conditions under which water flows from the bottle.
Can you please explain furtherjbriggs444 said:As I understand it, you have a bottle with an opening at the top and a valve on the opening.
You have added a small hole at the bottom (small enough so that air does not bubble in through it). You notice that when the top valve is open that the water flows freely out the bottom. But if you close the valve at the top, water no longer flows out.
If you leave the valve open at the top, does anything flow into the bottle through the opening?
If you close the valve, what happens to the air pressure in the bottle above the water if some water, hypothetically, continues to flow out the hole?
Can you answer either question?Einstein60 said:Can you please explain further
