Drainage Calc Tank Cylindrical Cross Section

This document provides information to calculate the time taken for complete drainage from a cylindrical tank. It lists the discharge coefficient, diameter and length of the cylindrical tank, diameter of the drain hole, initial depth, and drainage percentage. It then displays the calculated time taken for complete drainage as 34.47 minutes. It also provides notes on definitions of the discharge coefficient and assumptions made in the calculations.

Notes:

1. In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient "Cd" is the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge
to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same e
2. The discharge coefficient "Cd" is a function of the jet size or orifice opening

3. The discharge coefficient "Cd" of an orifice opening varies considerably with changes in area ratio and the Reyn
