Abstract
AbstractThe tank drainage problem with pipeline attached is studied in this work. Laminar and turbulent formulations of this unsteady‐state flow problem are derived and evaluated by experimental data. Additional literature models are also evaluated for comparison. Several experimental configurations were used including a small tank with a vertical tube, the same with various‐ sized orifices, a large tank with a horizontal pipe, and a large tank including a piping system with elbows, vertical drop and horizontal extension. Not all the models performed well under all conditions. Limitations of the models are discussed. The model derived by Loiacono and the model we derived (an exact equivalent) showed the best for both laminar and turbulent flow, predicting drainage times to better than ± 8%, on average.
