Hydrostatic Discharge of Liquid From Vessel Large Lateral Opening

Preview: Hydrostatic Discharge of Liquid From Vessel With Wide Lateral Opening Calculator

V = ( 2/3 ) ε b ( 2 g )^0.5 ( H₂^(3/2) - H₁^(3/2) )

Where:

b = Wide of opening (m),
V = Volume of reaction (m³/sec),
A = Area of discharge opening (m²),
H_1,2 = Depth (m),
g = Acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s) ,
ε = Coeffcient of contraction (ε = 0.62 for sharp edged openings and ε = 0.97 for smooth rounded openings),
