The tanks are cylindrical and have an identical diameter of 2 m. Ata steady state flow of 1 m®hr, the liquid levels in tank 1 and 2 are 1 m and 1.5 m, respectively. A process upset results in a sudden change in the inlet fiow to 2 m®/hr, Assume there is no liquid spills over the sides of the tanks. In Fes 7 q; Tank 2 ; FIGURE Q2: Two tank storage system a.
