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 ?

What are your thoughts?

What equations do you know regarding this type of problem?

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.

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Effect of mass on the acceleration of an elastic pendulum?'

I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?
