Thank you so much for that comprehensive reply, Chet! :-) That underpressure at point 2 is interesting. I did get the same expression for v as you though (Eqn 1), which I reorganized to an expression for h2, but my way there was a bit sketchy to say the least (and maybe just a fluke). When...

Thank your for your answers, both of you :) My apologies for not understanding much of this. My fluid dynamics knowledge is almost zero, so I'm learning by "Googling" at the moment. Point 1: The velocity is zero. And the pressure is atmospheric, so we're only left with the potential energy...

Thanks for replying :) I think h needs to represent the water level in a tank or equivalent, but it's the hole in the bottom of the pipe in my scenario (amongst other things) that confuses me. Are you implying that the pressure at the pipe outlet will be equal between this scenario and a...

This is not homework, but something work-related. However, I will post it here since it's homework-relatable. 1. Homework Statement Known variables: Qin , A (and obviously the diameter D of the pipe as well as g = 9.81 m/s2). The pipe outlet and the top of the tank is at atmospheric...

Thank you for some very nice pointers and advice, JBA! :) In reality the plate is really short (<1 meter) with probably several liters flowing per second, so I'm thinking that the water won't accelerate much down the plate, but rather just decelerate since the plate widt is much wider than the...

I'm not really sure where to post this. I saw that this Homework section exists even for technically non-homework (I'm designing a machine at work, but the problem is homework-esque and my fluid dynamics knowledge is rusty at best). I'm not sure if this introductory or advanced, and the template...
