[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]Would someone have an idea how I could estimate the flow rate of Heavy Fuel Oil at the bottom of a pierced tank?[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000][FONT=Verdana]Viscosity: 380 cst at 32 degrees Celsius[/FONT][/COLOR]

Size of opening and distance between opening and top of tank are needed
I know both the size and depth of the hole, but I need to account for the viscosity here.
V= (2.g.h)^0.5
and
Q= V.A
But I need something else because this is not water, it s a very thick Fuel Oil.
You are too coddled.
Why don't you spend a few minutes to Google "flow of viscous fluid through an orifice"
I'll bet you will get at least 10 promising hits.
