Draining Time for Spherical (Sphere) Tank Formulas and Calculator
Spherical (Sphere) Tank Drain From Bottom
t = ( 0.083 π h1.5 [ D - 0.6 h ] ) / ( Cd An )
Where:
t = time to empty in seconds,D = diameter of the sphere, ft,
h = height of liquid in the cylinder, ft,
Cd = Discharge coefficient,
0.61 for sharp-edged orifice
0.8 for short flush mounted nozzle
0.98 for rounded orifice
An = Cross-sectional area of drain opening (orifice / nozzle) based on ID of orifice / nozzle, ft2 ,
An = π/4 ( d / 12)2
