FIGURE Q2(d) shows a pressurized tank of water has a 10 cm diameter orifice at the bottom, where water discharges to the atmosphere. The water level is 3 m above the outlet. The tank air pressure above the water level is 300 kPa while the atmospheric pressure is 100 kPa. Neglecting frictional effects, calculate the initial discharge rate of water from the tank. State your opinion on how to increase the flowrate without changing tank’s characteristics
