A tank 900mm square in plain is filled with water and is drained via a 60mm
diameter pipe, 6m in length. The pipe has two bends along its length with head
loss Coefficients k = 0.6 each, and for the entry of the pipe k = 0.5. The outlet of
the pipe is 230mm below the level of the base of the tank (Fig. 1). The value of a
friction factor f = 0.008 can be assumed constant.
