Flowrate and Pressure Calculation

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the maximum flow rate from an atmospheric pressure circular tank with a given diameter and height, one can use Bernoulli's equation, assuming certain conditions are met. The flow rate can be determined by considering the tank's height and the diameter of the pipeline. For the subsequent pressure drop, the Darcy-Weisbach equation may be applicable, depending on the flow characteristics and pipe length. It's essential to identify all relevant variables to accurately apply these equations. Properly applying these principles will yield the desired flow rate and pressure drop calculations.

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.

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...
I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
