Chapter 5, Problem 5.18P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The discharge rate of the wastewater is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The velocity at which the wastewater is flowing from a tank is calculated by the Bernoulli’s equation.

The Bernoulli’s equation between two points is given as,

  $\frac{P_1}{\rho g}+\frac{V_1^2}{2g}+Z_1=\frac{P_2}{\rho g}+\frac{V_2^2}{2g}+Z_2$

The formula to calculate the discharge rate is,

  $Q=AV$
