A siphon tube of constant diameter d is attached to a large tank as shown. You can assume the flow is quasi steady, incompressible, irrational and that gravity is the only body force.

a) Find an equation for the mass flux m at any point in the tube.
b) Find the outlet velocity, U, and the minimum pressure in the siphon tube, pmin, as functions of gravitational acceleration, g, fluid density, rho, atmospheric pressure, pa, and the distances L,h1and h2.

c) What is the force, F required to hold the siphon in place. You can assume the weight of the siphon is negligible.

d) Calculate U,Pmin and F for h1=5ft,h2=3ft,L=3ft,rho=1.94slug/ft3 and pa=1atm.
