Question: ( i ) Based on Bemoulli's equation, derive the orifice discharge rate based on orifice area Aortos and water depth above the orfice h .

(i) Based on Bemoulli's equation, derive the orifice discharge rate based on
orifice area Aortos and water depth above the orfice h.
[5/15 marks]
(ii) Discuss the difference in the orfice discharge rates Q1 and Q2 from the two
containers in Figure Q2a, assuming the initial water depth inside the contains
are at the same and the orifices are located at the same level below the water
surface, h.

(iii) A vertical cylindrical tank, 2m diameter, has a sharp-edged orifice with
diameter d=0.05m near the bottom. The orifice has a discharge coefficient
of 0.6 as in Figure Q2b. Water (density of 1000kgm3, gravitational
acceleration g=9.81ms2) is also pulled into the tank at a constant rate On ?in to
keep the water level inside the tank same.
If water enters the tank at a constant rate Qin of 0.0095m3s, find the depth of
water above the orifice when the level in the tank becomes stable.
