    Problem 6.54

    Matheus Santin
    This problem uses Bernoulli's equation to calculate the maximum height (h) of a siphon to avoid cavitation. Given the flow rate (Q) and pipe diameter (D), the velocity (V) is calculated. Bernoulli's equation is applied between the free surface and the siphon inlet (point A) to relate pressure, velocity, and height. The vapor pressure (pv) provides the minimum permissible pressure at point A. Solving the rearranged Bernoulli's equation yields the maximum height of 4.76 m.

    Hence, applying Bernoulli between the free surface and point A

    Hence p A = p atm − ρ⋅ g ⋅ h − ρ⋅

    From the steam tables, at 20oC the vapor pressure is p v = 2.358 ⋅ kPa

    This is the lowest permissible value of pA

    V

    Hence p A = p v = p atm − ρ⋅ g ⋅ h − ρ⋅ or h= −
