Question
A 6.0-m diameter cylindrical tank contains a hazardous material dissolved in mostly water.
A leak occurred in the tank because a 0.1 m diameter pipe located 1.0 m above the bottom
of the tank was accidentally disconnected. A 30-minute emergency response time is
required to stop the leak. If the tank is vented to the atmosphere, calculate the following
a) If total emptying time is 2.5 hours what is the original liquid level in the tank just prior to
the spill.
b) What is the liquid level in the tank at the end of the spill? (e
c) Estimate the total amount of liquid spilled from the tank in m³ (V) and in kg (m). 2)
(Assuming Co=0.61 for the highly turbulent flow; Assuming p = pwater =1000 kg/m³)
