Water Flow & Pressure: The Impact of Water Control Mechanisms on Overflow Time"

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on how the rate of water flow into two containers affects pressure and overflow time. It questions whether a higher flow rate increases pressure, potentially leading to earlier overflow. One container is designed to prevent overflow, causing the water level to rise more slowly as height increases. Participants seek clarification on the setup to better understand the dynamics at play. Overall, the relationship between flow rate, pressure, and overflow time is the primary focus.

Water is poured into two containers separately at two different rate. Will the rate of increase of water flow affects the pressure building up? Can the pressure affects the time taken for the water to overflow the container?
( One of the container is designed to avoid overflow, hence the rate of increase of water level decrease with every increasing height?)

Welcome to the PF.

Can you post a drawing of the setup? It's a bit difficult to understand your question (at least it is hard for me). :smile:
 
If the rate of water flows in is high, the air pressure exerts on the water surface will be higher, then the water will overflow even before it reaches 14m. Is that right?

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'

I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...

Thread 'Query on Isentropic relationships (such as PV^gamma = constant)'

Hi all, I have a question. So from the derivation of the Isentropic process relationship PV^gamma = constant, there is a step dW = PdV, which can only be said for quasi-equilibrium (or reversible) processes. As such I believe PV^gamma = constant (and the family of equations) should not be applicable to just adiabatic processes? Ie, it should be applicable only for adiabatic + reversible = isentropic processes? However, I've seen couple of online notes/books, and...
