If the water heights are not equal and the tanks are connected, there will be a water pressure difference that will drive water from the higher pressure (higher height) to the lower pressure, until the two heights are equal.Domagoj said:
The change in pressure due to the Venturi effect only occurs when the liquid or gas is flowing. So it will affect how quickly the two tank pressures equalize, but won't prevent them from equalizing eventually.Domagoj said:
Basically, no, not never ever. You cannot do work without an energy source. All the devices that appear to do that are based on some hidden source of energy (a trick) that is not obvious to the audience. If you define a pump as a device that raises the level of a fluid then all pumps need energy.Domagoj said:
I was reffering to something like thissophiecentaur said:
Yes - and a hydraulic ram uses the Power of the water flowing through it. You may regard that as 'free' energy but it's still an energy input. The lower of your two tanks would have to have another outlet, allowing water flow downhill, out of it, to power the Ram.Domagoj said:
Yes, it is possible to connect two tanks to create a water level difference. This can be done by connecting the tanks with a pipe or hose and ensuring that one tank is at a higher elevation than the other.
When two tanks are connected, the water level in both tanks will seek to equalize. This means that the water will flow from the higher tank to the lower tank, creating a difference in water level between the two tanks.
Creating a water level difference between two tanks can be useful for various purposes, such as regulating water flow, creating a pressure difference for water distribution, or simply for storing water at different levels for different uses.
Yes, there are a few limitations to consider when connecting two tanks. The elevation difference between the two tanks should not be too high, as this can cause excessive pressure and strain on the connecting pipes. Additionally, the tanks should be securely connected to prevent any leaks or damage.
It is important to ensure that the tanks are properly supported and secured to prevent any accidents or damage. Additionally, it is important to regularly inspect the tanks and connecting pipes for any leaks or damage to prevent potential hazards.
