Answer

$\mathcal{V}=1.54\ m/s$ $\Delta t=7.21\ h$

Work Step by Step

$\mathcal{V}=\sqrt{\frac{2gz}{1.5+fL/D}}$ Constant $g=9.81\ m/s,\ f=0.015,\ L=100m,\ D=0.10\ m$ $\mathcal{V}=1.0905\sqrt{z}=k\sqrt{z}$ Initially $z_1=2\ m$: $\mathcal{V}=1.54\ m/s$ Mass balance: $\frac{dm}{dt}=-\dot{m}_e$ $\rho\frac{dV}{dt}=-\rho\frac{\pi D^2}4\mathcal{V}$ $\frac{\pi D_0^2}4 \frac{dz}{dt}=-\frac{\pi D^2}4k\sqrt{z}$ Defining $k^*=k\frac{D^2}{D_0^2}=1.0905\times10^{-4} s^{-1}$ $\frac{dz}{dt}=-k^*\sqrt{z}$ Integrating from beginning to end: $[2z^{1/2}]_{z_0}^0=-k^*\Delta t$ $\Delta t=25938\ s=7.21\ h$
