Analysis
For this experiment the analysis will be performed first.
1. Calculate the volumetric flow rate of the siphon (cm3/s), assuming that L = 100 cm,
∆z = 80 cm, and that there is no friction in the tube (wf = 0). In order to get the volumetric flow rate, you must first calculate uavg. 15 Marks
2. Predict the volumetric flow rate of the siphon (cm3/s), assuming that L = 100 cm,
∆z = 80 cm, and that there is friction in the tube (wf given by equation above).
15 Marks
3. Repeat the flow rate calculation from number 2 with the following change: assume a half-length of tubing is used, with L = 50 cm and ∆z = 33 cm. 10 Marks
4. Discuss the applications and limitation of a siphon (include images and references), 1000 words max. Graphs/Images/Tables and references are not included in the words count. 40 Marks
