A 0.2 m diameter siphon issues 220 1/s of oil of specific gravity 0.8 from a large tank to the atmosphere at an elevation of 3.0 m below the oil surface, as shown in Figure P5.24. The invert of the siphon is located 8.0 m above its exit to the atmosphere. Determine the losses in the siphon in terms of the velocity head. If two-thirds of the losses are encountered before the invert, what is the lowest pressure in that siphon?
