Although gas station owners lock their tanks at night, a gas station owner was the victim of theft because his employee had a key to the tank. The owner of the gas station wants to bury the gasoline so deep that no vacuum pump will be able to extract it. He has hired a general contractor to dig the holes for the tanks. What is the minimum gasoline surface depth ℎ2 needed to prevent siphoning by any pump?

Note: Kindly provide a solution pls. The answer is already provided. Thank you! 1.19 A high concentrated solution having a volume of 120 liters is mixed by 9% alcohol and24% gasoline. It was found out that a 50-50 percent mixture is also appropriate in thesolution. How much gasoline (liters) should be added to the high concentrated solutionin order to have the 50-50 % mixture? Ans: 62.4
a) What is the volume flow rate of oil in the channel? b)What is the mass flow rate?
A separator accepts waste oil at 70% oil and 30% water by weight. The top product stream is pure oil while the bottom underflow contains 10% oil. If a flow of 20 gal/min is fed to the tank, how much oil is recovered? Two methanol-water mixtures are contained in a separate flask. The first mixture contains 40% w methanol and the second contains 70% w. If 200 g of the first mixture is combined with 150 g of the second, what are the mass and composition of the product?
The absolute viscosity of the peanut oil is 41x10-3 Pa-s and the specific gravity is 0.95. If the discharge is 8.6 L/s, what is the associated Reynolds number at the throat of the Venturi meter for a throat diameter of 51 mm?
The below figure shows a pump that transfers a steady stream of 35 API crude oil from an oil tanker to a refinery storage tank, both free surfaces being open to the atmosphere. The effective length-including fittings-of the commercial steel pipe is 6,000 ft. The discharge at point 4 is 200 ft above the pump exit, which is level with the free surface of oil in the tanker. However, because of an intervening hill, point 3 is at a higher altitude than point 4. Losses between points 1 and 2 may be ignored. The crude oil has the following properties: Density p= 53 lbm/ft; Viscosity u= 13.2 cP3; Vapour Pressure Pv = 4.0 psia 1,000 ft 5,000 ft Storage tank 200 ft Oil tanker W hp
Q\Determination of liquid levels in industrial strong tanks using police radar?
A liquid delivery system is being designed suchthat ethylene glycol flows out of a hole in the bottom of a largetank, as shown in the figure. The designers need to predict howlong it will take for the ethylene glycol to completely drain.Since it would be very expensive to run tests with a full-scaleprototype using ethylene glycol, they decide to build a onequarter scale model for experimental testing, and they plan touse water as their test liquid. The model is geometricallysimilar to the full-scale unit.a. Use dimensional analysis to develop a dimensionless expression for the time to empty acontainer tempty as a function of the liquid density ρ, viscosity µ, gravity constant g, holediameter d, and tank diameter D, and initial height h above the bottom of the tank. Use ρ,g, and h as repeating variables.b. The temperature of the ethylene glycol in the prototype tank is 60°C, at which ν =4.75*10–6 m2/s. At what temperature should the water in the model experiment be set inorder to ensure…
