    The document discusses flow through orifices, weirs and tubes. It provides a formula to calculate the amount of fluid discharged over time through an orifice where the total head is constant. It then asks how long it will take for the water levels to equalize between two chambers separated by an orifice, and between two cylindrical tanks connected by a tube, when the initial water level differences and tube/orifice properties are provided.

    The flow through orifice, weirs, or tubes is said to be steady only if the total head producing flow, H, is constant.

    The amount of fluid being discharged for a time t can therefore be computed using the formula =

    The rectangular tank shown is divided by a portion into two chambers and provided with a round 150-mm-diameter sharp-edged orifice at the lower portion of the partition. At a certain instant, the level in chamber B is 3 m higher than it is in chamber A. How long will it take for the water surfaces in the two chambers to be at the same level? Assume C = 0.62

    Two vertical cylindrical tanks 1 and 2 having diameters 2m and 3m respectively, are connected with a 200mm-diameter tube at its lower portion, and having C = 0.60. When the tube is closed, the water surface in tank 1 is 5 meters above tank 2. How long will it take after opening the tube, for the water surface in tank 2 to rise by 1 meter?
