two tanks were placed. tank one at a higher level and other(tank 2) at lower level. But in tank 2 a pump of flow rate Q ml/min is affixed.what is the flow rate in tank 2. Same as Q /min?

hamshie.k said:same as the flow rate of the pump.
Avis said:Is it not possible that the pump in T2 can pump the water to T1 faster then T1 flows into T2?
tiny-tim said:if it's a closed system, where all the water has to be either in T1 or in T2 (or in the pipe between them, which we can assume is always full),
then the water lost by T2 has to equal the water gained by T1
The flow rate in Tank 2 is the same as the flow rate in Tank 1, as indicated by the equation Q2 = Q1 /min. This means that the amount of liquid flowing into Tank 2 per unit time is equal to the amount of liquid flowing out of Tank 1 per unit time.
The flow rate in Tank 2 is primarily affected by the size of the opening through which the liquid flows, the pressure difference between the top and bottom of the tank, and the properties of the liquid itself (such as viscosity and density).
The flow rate in Tank 2 can be measured using a flow meter, which measures the volume of liquid passing through a specific point per unit time. Other methods include using a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for a certain volume of liquid to flow out of Tank 2, or using the equation Q = A * v, where A is the cross-sectional area of the opening and v is the velocity of the liquid.
Yes, there are potential issues that can affect the flow rate in Tank 2. These include changes in the pressure or temperature of the liquid, clogs or blockages in the opening, and changes in the properties of the liquid itself. It is important to regularly monitor and maintain the system to ensure a consistent flow rate.
The flow rate in Tank 2 is an important factor in the overall functioning of the system. It affects the rate at which the liquid is transferred from Tank 1 to Tank 2, which in turn affects the levels and pressures in both tanks. A consistent and appropriate flow rate is necessary for the system to operate effectively and efficiently.
