gravity flow thru opening
gravity flow thru opening
(OP)
I'm looking for a chart that would give me gravity flow of water thru different size circular openings. for example. I have a 500 gal tank with a 2" hole in the side. What gpm flow can I put in the tank where the water level in the tank will never rise above the top of the hole. Please help

2. Search Google using "weir"
3. Ask the civil groups -it should be trivia for them
4. Check out a basic book on fluid mechanics

You fail to give us all the basic data required to resolve your problem. I'm going to assume the tank is an open tank and the outlet pipe on the tank's side is a vertical, gravity drain overflow. If that's the case, then go to thread378-87442 on this forum and read my post on the subject. The Hill article gives a series of curves for different configurations and I've regressed them into equations for quick and easy resolution and programming, if needed.
I believe this will resolve your problem. Good luck.
