Question: An elevated storage tank discharges water ( T = 3 0 C ) through an outlet ( C d = 0 . 8 5 )

An elevated storage tank discharges water (T=30C) through an outlet (Cd=0.85) to a very short length of 400-mm diameter ductile iron pipe, which discharges a free jet for a construction project. If the required flow rate is 1m3sec, calculate required water depth above tank outlet using the Bernoulli equation (assume Koutlet=0.25)and the free jet equation.
Estimate pressure (kPa) at storage tank outlet in Problem No.4 using either depth.
Determine required pipe size for Problem No.4 if the flow rate increases to 2m3sec and all other conditions remain the same-use both equations to size pipe.
An elevated storage tank discharges water ( T = 3
