Question

What Equation can be used to determine a diameter of a leakinghole in a storage tank, when we are given the hight of the leakingpoint (16 m) and the flow rate Q = 2.50 E-3 m2/min. Asit is mentioned in Prob. 35 P, Chap. 14. Appreciated any one leaves his comments.

Explanation / Answer

I assume it's a cylindrical tank... You'll want to calculate thepressure of the water pushing down at the point where the hole is,and relate that to the energy of the water leaving the leak. Ibelieve you'll need the continuity equation. Check here for more details.
