Tank Discharge
Tank Discharge
Note
The distance between the bottom of the tank and the pipe centerline is assumed
to be negligible compared to the total water height . This assumption simplifies
the solution . If this asumption is not acceptable, the pipe pressure and the
integration limits would need to be adjusted .
