Gravity Flow rate calculation from atmospheric tank to truck
Gravity Flow rate calculation from atmospheric tank to truck
(OP)
Need some help.
Have an atmospheric tank of sour gasoil (~30 ft of liquid)
Need to gravity flow from the tank to a truck (also vented and ~12 ft in height) via a 3" line (~60-80ft in length).
Question is how long will it take to fill the truck or what is the flow rate through the line so as to estimate the fill time for the truck.
Seems basic, but I am sure I am overthinking it.
Thanks for your help.
