Flowrate and Pressure Calculation

[Arin_Mukherji]

There is an atmospheric pressure circular tank of X meter diameter and Y meter height. A pipeline is connected to the bottom of the tank. The diameter of the pipe is z meters.
a) How can we calculate the maximum flow-rate of the pipe when the tank is completely filled?
b) How can we calculate the subsequent pressure drop ?

I think I am missing one variable here. I can't use bernouly equation here. I don't know what to use.

You can use Bernoulli with a few assumptions. Write out the equation and list all known variables.
