Time of Emptying Hemispherical Tank

Go Total Time Taken = (pi*(((4/3)*Hemispherical Tank Radius*((Initial Height of Liquid^1.5)-(Final Height of Liquid^1.5)))-(0.4*((Initial Height of Liquid^(5/2))-(Final Height of Liquid)^(5/2)))))/(Coefficient of Discharge*Area of Orifice*(sqrt(2*9.81)))

Time of Emptying Circular Horizontal Tank

Go Total Time Taken = (4*Length*((((2*Radius 1)-Final Height of Liquid)^(3/2))-((2*Radius 1)-Initial Height of Liquid)^(3/2)))/(3*Coefficient of Discharge*Area of Orifice*(sqrt(2*9.81)))

Time of Emptying Tank through Orifice at Bottom

Go Total Time Taken = (2*Area of Tank*((sqrt(Initial Height of Liquid))-(sqrt(Final Height of Liquid))))/(Coefficient of Discharge*Area of Orifice*sqrt(2*9.81))

Velocity of liquid at C-C for Hc, Ha, and H

Go Velocity of Liquid Inlet = sqrt(2*9.81*(Atmospheric Pressure Head+Constant Head-Absolute Pressure Head))

Coefficient of velocity for horizontal and vertical distance

Go Coefficient of Velocity = Horizontal Distance/(sqrt(4*Vertical Distance*Head of the Liquid))

Coefficient of Velocity given Head Loss

Go Coefficient of Velocity = sqrt(1-(Head Loss/Head of the Liquid))

Coefficient of velocity

Go Coefficient of Velocity = Actual Velocity/Theoretical Velocity

Theoretical velocity

Go Velocity = sqrt(2*9.81*Pelton Head)

Time of Emptying Tank through Orifice at Bottom Formula

What is coefficient of discharge?

The coefficient of discharge is defined as the ratio of the actual discharge from an orifice to the theoretical discharge from the orifice.

What is an orifice?

The orifice is defined as the small opening on the side or bottom of a tank through which any kind of fluid is flowing. The opening can be circular, triangular, or rectangular in cross-section and they are named on the basis of shape accordingly.
