It is desired to siphon a volatile liquid out of a deep open tank. If the liquid has a vapor pressure of 200 mmHg and a density of 45 lbm/ft3 and the surface of the liquid is 30 ft below the top of the tank, is it possible to siphon the liquid? If so, what would the velocity be through a frictionless siphon, 1/2 in. in diameter, if the exit of the siphon tube is 3 ft below the level in the tank?
