Assume that, using our CE3603 Fluid Mechanics knowledge, we designed a cylindrical water storage tank that will fill up to a maximum depth (h) and will not exceed this depth if the volume flow rate into the tank is constant (see the schematic). The cylindrical tank has a diameter of 0.5m and has two circular outlets, one outlet at the bottom and the other outlet at 0.25m above the bottom. The diameters of both of the outlets are 5cm.[density of water, water=1000kgm3; and gravity acts downward in the schematic; atmospheric pressure outside the tank]
If we start filling this tank with water using a 10cm diameter pipe that provides water at a flow speed of 1ms, what will be the maximum water depth (h) in the tank?
