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? c) Estimate the total amount of liquid spilled from the tank in m³ (V) and in kg (m)...

Answer rating: 100% (QA)

a We must determine the initial amount of liquid in the tank in order to determine the original liquid level in the tank immediately before the spill The pipes diameter which serves as a choke point w... View the full answer
