Flow out time vessel, viscosity fluid
Flow out time vessel, viscosity fluid
(OP)
Hi,
I am a mechanical engineer at the moment I am trying to determine the flow out time of fluid in a tank.
The fluid has a viscosity of 200cP, how do I determine the flow out time of an atmospheric tank.
The tank has a capacity 18m³
How much influence has the viscosity of an fluid on the flow out time of a tank.
Which formula can I use.

Are you a student?
If so you should post in the student section of www.Cheresources.com
If not, try the pipelines, Piping and Fluid mechanics engineering forum.
The best thing is to buy a copy of the Crane fluid flow 410 manual.
Yes, viscosity has a significant effect, by the way.

dp = 32 eta v l / d^2
p = pressure drop (fluid column/2)
eta = viscosity
v = fluid velocity
l = length of pipe
d = diameter of pipe
Velocity will decrease as the tank gets more empty.
