All: you're getting warm with Bernoulli.

Thanks for the explanation.

So what are the units ?
[Edited on 5-3-2016 by aga] |
I don't have that symbol on my phone key board.
Units means the units of a dimension ie meters are units of length. Newtons are units of force and so on.
Perhaps I answered the wrong question. Do you mean what units you must use in your calculation? If you do then you can can use what ever consistent
units you want. I would use SI units ie meters, seconds, kilograms for mass. Newtons for forces. So bars needs to be converted to Newtons per square
meter.

The flow velocity at the top of the tank will be 1/3600 the flow velocity through the pipe, from the area ratio.
I've set up the Bernoulli equation:
1/2 * v2 + 3*105 N/m2 / (1000 kg/m3) = 1/2 (v/3600)2 + h * 9.81 m/s2 +
1.3*105 / (1000 kg/m3)
where v is the flow velocity at the bottom of the pipe, and h is the height of the water.
However, I'm getting some odd results with it (imaginary numbers). Did I miss anything?

The equation look wrong h x 9.81 needs to be multiply by the mass of one cubic meter of water perhaps your missing brackets or I am falling asleep.

Having thought about the Bernoulli equation is only valid for the pressure at the height of the entry into the tank. As that is not given I can see
no unique solutions. Obviously the height could be ignored but that would be a cheat.
I give up what's the solution then blogfast ???

Not true at all. The form of Bernoulli's equation to be used is valid at any arbitrary point along the streamline. But you were right in stating one
integration is needed to get a filling time.
You can use Bernoulli to prove Torricelli's Law, e.g. But you need to set it up properly.
I'll publish the solution tomorrow. It's very late here now.
So far Metacelsus has gotten the furthest. But he needs to develop a expression for the volumetric flow rate in function of height of water in the
tank. Your criticism of his equation was wrong though.
woelen was also basically correct.

Nice problem blogfast. My 2.3h is the filling time at a constant dP. So the real answer will be larger. It would be interesting to
see by how much.

I converted all pressures to height of water in meters. So the energy balance (Bernoulli eqn) is:
h + 13.3 + (v^2)/2g = 30.6 (eqn 1)
g = acceleration of gravity, 9.81 m/s^2
(v^2)/2g is a loss term for a pipe entrance into a wide opening expressed as a height of fluid.
h is the height of water at any time t (in seconds) and v is the instantaneous average velocity of water in the small pipe in m/s.
V = dh/dt, where V is the instantaneous average velocity in the tank.
v = [(R/r)^2]V, where r and R are radii for the pipe and tank, respectively.
v = [(R/r)^2]dh/dt (eqn 2) (continuity eqn)
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1 to eliminate v. Then integrate to definite integrals between h=0 and h=5 and t=0 and t=T. Solve for T the total time.
My solution was T = 16.4 min.
--------------------------------------------------
I know this is not correct as I've ignored the kinetic energy of the incoming stream (v^2/2g) and taken some loss at the entrance which you said to
ignore. But I'll leave it up for discussion.

Looking at the problem again and the posts I realize I thought the venturi equation and baliouni equation where the same. Apparently the latter
equation (which I was not familiar with) includes the effects of gravity. That explains some of the posts and blogfast,s comments.
But I am still lost how the entrance pipe can be anywhere other than at the bottom of the tank for a solution.

Actually the solution would be simpler if it were on top, then the back pressure would be constant. With the inlet on the bottom you have to calculate
the increase in back pressure as the level rises. With the inlet anywhere between you'll have to calculate it in two steps, first with constant back
pressure until it reaches the inlet, then with increasing pressure.
We're not banging rocks together here. We know how to put a man back together.

@Magpie:
I like your approach a lot but don't understand where the numbers 13.3 and 30.6 come from. So I haven't checked the integration.
Edit: and I can confirm that plugging in the numbers into your DV, I get:
$$h+660550\dot{h}^2=17.3$$
And integrated between t=0, h=0 and t, h=H I get t = 17.7 min.
Edit 2: oooopsie, now I can see where these numbers come from and where you went a bit wrong.

My solution:
Start from Bernoulli's Equation. Applied here:
$$\frac{v_z^2}{2}+gz+\frac{p_z}{\rho}=\frac{v_0^2}{2}+gz_0+\frac{p_0}{\rho}$$
$$p_z=1.3\:\mathrm{bar}, p_0=3\:\mathrm{bar}, z_0=0$$
Call:
$$p_0-p_z=\Delta p$$
Then:
$$\frac12(v_0^2-v_z^2)=gz-\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}$$
Let:
$$Q$$
... be the volumetric throughput and as water is incompressible, with A the respective cross section:
$$Q=A_zv_z=A_0v_0$$
So:
$$v_z=\frac{Q}{A_z}, v_0=\frac{Q}{A_0}$$
With some reworking we get:
$$\frac12(v_0^2-v_z^2)=\frac{Q^2}{2} \times \frac{A_z^2-A_0^2}{A_z^2A_0^2}$$
Set:
$$\alpha^2=\frac{A_z^2-A_0^2}{A_z^2A_0^2}$$
So:
$$Q(z)=\frac{1}{\alpha}\sqrt{2\big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz\big)}$$
So the volumetric throughput is a function of height, as expected. To calculate filling time, note that (with V volume):
$$dV=A_zdz=Q(v)dt$$
Integrate between z=0 and z=H to find total filling time:
$$A_z\int_0^H\frac{dz}{Q(v)}=t$$
$$A_z=\pi R_z^2$$
$$t=\frac{\alpha\pi R_z^2}{\sqrt{2}} \int_0^H\frac{dz}{\sqrt{\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz}}$$
So then:
$$t=\frac{2\alpha \pi R_z^2}{\sqrt{2}g}\Big[\big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}\big)^{1/2} - \big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gH \Big)^{1/2}\Big]$$
Also:
$$R_0=0.05\:\mathrm{m}, R_z=3\:\mathrm{m}$$
$$\alpha=127.4\:\mathrm{m^{-2}}$$
$$\Delta p=(3-1.3) \times 10^5\:\mathrm{Pa}=1.7 \times 10^5\:\mathrm{Pa}$$
$$\rho=1000\:\mathrm{kg/m^3}$$
$$\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}=170\:\mathrm{m^2/s^2}$$
$$gH=49.05\:\mathrm{m^2/s^2}$$
So:
$$t \approx 1050\:\mathrm{s}=17.5\:\mathrm{min}$$
An interesting thing happens when:
$$gH>\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}$$
Then the equation is no longer valid because the square root of a negative number occurs.
$$H=\frac{\Delta p}{\rho g}$$
... is the maximum height to which the pump can still deliver (zero) volumetric throughput, due to hydrostatic pressure of the water column.

That's a fine display of mathsiness there bloggers.
Lost me totally at the integration step.
Hey ! 166s = 2.7 somethings !
Incredible co-incidence.

Well, for this specific integration:
$$t=\frac{\alpha\pi R_z^2}{\sqrt{2}} \int_0^H\frac{dz}{\sqrt{\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz}}$$
$$t=fI$$
Where f is that composite factor upfront and I is the actual integral. This way we can concentrate on the integral:
$$I=\int_0^H\frac{dz}{\sqrt{\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz}}=\int_0^H\big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz\big)^{-1/2}dz$$
Make a substitution:
$$u=\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz$$
Differentiate:
$$du=-gdz$$
$$dz=-\frac1g du$$
The integral now becomes:
$$=-\frac1g \int_0^H u^{-1/2}du$$
This is a tabled integral, so from memory or a table:
$$I=-\frac2g \Big[u^{1/2}\Big]_0^H$$
Substitute back:
$$I=-\frac2g \Big[\big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gz\big)^{1/2}\Big]_0^H$$
$$I=-\frac2g \Big[\big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho}-gH\big)^{1/2}-\big(\frac{\Delta p}{\rho})^{1/2}\Big]$$
Invert the sign and multiply with f to get the expression for t in my solution.

I used this online venturi calculator because I'm a lazy shit: http://www.efunda.com/formulae/fluids/venturi_flowmeter.cfm#...
If you do the problem backwards, d=6m pipe constricting to 0.1m pipe and use a constant pressure drop of 1.7bar, I get a fill time of 975s using their
answer of volumetric flow rate of 145l/s, which is much longer than your solution. Considering that I didn't even use it correctly the first time, I
may well be making some stupid mistake again, but try it yourself and if not, perhaps there's a mistake somewhere (could be in their calculator of
course).
Note, the constant pressure drop is just a quick check. The volumetric flow rate with an increasing head should take longer, but not faster, if I'm
not mistaken.

One common form of the Bernoulli equation, which is an energy balance, expresses the energy as "height of fluid." So my pressure terms become
p/density. Then 3bar = 3bar(10.2m/bar) = 30.6m. But you said you had figured that out.
I didn't get going on this problem until late last night but had my solution by 11PM. Then after going to bed I realized my errors and had to get
back up and work on the problem. After going back to bed at 1PM I still had no satisfactory solution. So, thanks for keeping me up all night.

deltaH was correct.
My value for alpha was way off, due to a silly mistake. 1050 s is in line with the 974 s for the venturi: it's slightly higher due to
gravity (hydrostatic pressure).

Funnily enough that's the form I was taught 30 years ago. But I'm a little rusty.
It kept me up all night too, as I kept finding niggly errors. SORRY!

HA, that's nothing, I initially didn't hit the calculate button and worked from the 'default' answer given  of 17l/s
Very cute problem though, thanks again!
