A firefighter friend of mine has this question. If they had a tank 8'diam x 13' long with a 6" diam line from it down to the ground, what would the flow be when they open the valve? The bottom of the tank would be 11' off the ground, it is a gravity fed system. Assume two 90s for fittings, standard cs pipe (if required), I don't need it to the thousandth of a gpm :)
a) What is the flow (gpm) from the tank when full?
b) What is the flow (gpm) from the tank with 1" of level?
c) What is the time to empty the tank completely (starting from full)?
Thanks all.
