Chapter 5, Problem 60P
In cold climates, water pipes may freeze and burst if proper precautions are not taken. In such an occurrence, the exposed part of a pipe on the ground ruptures, and water shoots up to 55 m. Estimate the gage pressure of water in the pipe. State your assumptions and discuss if the actual pressure is more or less than the value you predicted.

Methanol (SG=0.792) is contained in a large tank under a pressure of 350000 Pa absolute. When a valve on the bottom of the tank is opened, the methanol drains freely though a 0.02 m ID tube whose outlet is 7.00 m below the surface of the methanol. The pressure at the outlet of the discharge pipe is 101325 Pa. Some useful constants and conversions: g = 9.8 m/s2 , Pref = 1000 kg/m3 .
a. Draw the system. Label points I and 2 (where you will define A= 2-1) and label the variables with values
b Write the general form of the energy balance. Cancel out negligible terms, and state the keyword/assumption to justify. Simplify to the resultant energy balance.
c.) Assume the diameter of the tank is very big compared to the drain tube velocity, which make the velocity of liquid in the tank equal to zero. Estimate the methanol discharge velocity in the drain tube in m/s. *hint: divide your EB by m to eliminate m and V. Recall, n = pV = pvA and = v/m=1/p

safety purposes with water as the pressure medium. Assuming that the sphere is initially filled
with water at atmospheric pressure, what extra volume of water is required to be pumped in
to produce a pressure of 3 MN/m² gauge? For water, K = 2.1 GN/m².
The sphere is now placed in service and filled with gas until there is a volume change of
72 x 10 m³. Determine the pressure exerted by the gas on the walls of the sphere.
