Problem
The pipe flow in Fig. P3.12 fills a cylindrical surge tank as shown. At time t=0, the water depth in the tank is 30 cm. Estimate the time required to fill the remainder of the tank. The tank diameter is D=75 cm, and the tank height is 1 m. The inlet velocity is V1=2.5 m/s through a pipe of diameter d=12 cm, and the exit velocity is V2=1.9 m/s.
