A 3-m-high large tank is initially filled with water. The tank water surface is open to the atmosphere, and a sharp-edged 10-cm-diameter orifice at the bottom drains to the atmosphere through a horizontal 80-m-long pipe. The total irreversible head loss of the system is determined to be 1.5 m. Disregard the effect of the kinetic energy correction factors. Using appropriate software, investigate the effect of the tank height on the initial discharge velocity of water from the completely filled tank. Let the tank height vary from 2 to 15 m in increments of 1 m, and assume the irreversible head loss to remain constant. Tabulate and plot the results.
