Date of Exam: May 2016

Subject:
Hydraulics and Geotechnical Engineering

Situation
An open cylindrical vessel 1.3 m in diameter
and 2.1 m high is 2/3 full of water. If rotated
about the vertical axis at a constant angular
speed of 90 rpm,
1. Determine how high is the paraboloid
formed of the water surface.

A. 1.26 m C. 2.46 m

B. 1.91 m D. 1.35 m

2. Determine the amount of water that will be

spilled out.

A. 140 L C. 341 L

B. 152 L D. 146 L

3. What should have been the least height of

the vessel so that no water is spilled out?

A. 2.87 m C. 3.15 m

B. 2.55 m D. 2.36 m

ω = 90(π/30) = 3π rad/sec

1 1
Vtank = 4
π D2 H = 4
π(1.32 )(2.1)
Vtank = 2.7874 m2

1 2d 1 2
Vw1 = 4
π D = 4
π(1.3 )(1.4)
Vw1 = 1.8582 m3

ω2 r 2 (3π )2 (0.652 )
h= =
2g 2(9.81)
h = 1.9128 m ← [ B ] answer for part 1
h/2 = 0.9564 m

Since h/2 > 0.7 m, water are spilled from

the tank
1 1
Vair = 2
πr2 h = 2
π(0.652 )(1.9128)
Vair = 1.2694 m3

Vw2 = Vtank − Vair = 2.7874 − 1.2694

Vw2 = 1.518 m3

Vspilled = Vw1 − Vw2 = 1.8582 − 1.518

Vspilled = 0.3402 m3 = 340.2 Liters ← [
C ] answer for part 2

So that no water is spilled out

H = 1.4 + h/2 = 1.4 + 0.9564
H = 2.3564 m ← [ D ] answer for part
3
