A water holding tank measuring 166 inches long, by 80 inches wide, and 102 inches high, having a 2 inch output

Question

a water holding tank measuring 166 inches long, by 80 inches wide, and 102 inches high, having a 2 inch output pipe at 60 inches from the top , how much pressure in psi is at that pipe? and how many imperial gallons per minute output?

Answer 2

Assuming that the tank is full of water, the pressure at the outlet pipe is equal to the height of liquid. Use the center line of the pipe as the reference point.  Assume that the C/L of the pipe is at 60in from the top.

The height of water= 60 in

So the pressure at the outlet pipe is 60in H2O gauge

1psi= 27.7 inH2O

60 in H2O * 1psi/27.7 in H2O= 2.2 psig or 16.8 psia

To calculate the flow use Bernoulli's Principle... check your text book for the formula.  This will convert differential pressure (2.2 psi) to velocity
