Water flowing through sharp-edged orifices Yin. dia. or larger is always turbulent—thus the as- iimption of constant C, is valid for most practical ap- plications. The figure lists accepted C, values. Example: A 10-ft sphere is filled to a height of 8 ft with ethanol—a Newtonian fluid. How long will it take to drain out through a short, 2-in.-dia. tube? Solution: Refer to the figure for the proper equation and C, value, then substitute the values to find « MSM, 521 Piermont Ave, iver Vale, NJ 07672 ia ci SteetcuT Ae eed Wey SS 80 Via h™D — %h) 30,4, Ve _ V2 918710 = H8)) 3(0.80(")(Ya¥?
