Description

Given the dimensions of the tank surface and the vertical distance between the water surface and the axis outlet section, this calculation determines the drainage time of the tank.

Input and Output Parameters

Inputs

Parameter	Standard Units	Description
Width (a)	m	Width of the tank horizontal section
Length (b)	m	Length of the tank horizontal section
Height (y)	m	Vertical distance between the water surface and the outlet axis
Diameter (d)	mm	Diameter of the outlet pipe

Output

Parameter	Standard Units	Description
Time (t)	s	Time required to drain the tank

Formula

t = \frac{0.74 \cdot a \cdot b \cdot \sqrt{y}}{\frac{\pi}{4} \cdot d^2}
