Help Please: Viscous Oil Flow Rate
Posted: Sat Mar 16, 2013 2:51 pm
Hi,
Would anyone have an idea how I could estimate the flow rate of Heavy Fuel Oil out of a simple tank with a hole in it?
This is not a pipe-type problem, so I have really been struggling with this case.
The oil in question has a viscosity of 380 cSt at 32 degrees Celcius.
I know the size of the hole and its position in the tank, but I dont know how to account for the viscosity of the oil.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
