A closed tank containing 2 layers of fluids is discharging its contents through an orifice as shown in the figure. The circular orifice has a diameter of 48mm with a discharge coefficient of 0.65. Considering a pressure reading of 148kPa on the surface of the fluids within the tank, determine the discharge flowing out of the orifice (in L/s)? The gasoline layer is 4.0m deep with a specific gravity of 0.69, while the water surface is 5.5m above the orifice. Air: kPa gage V Gasoline s.g.= m D = mm Water
