How is the flow rate calculated using the difference in liquid level heights?
Thread Content
Is there a formula for calculating flow rate based on the difference in liquid level heights? Do we need to first calculate the flow velocity and then determine the flow rate in the second step?
Calculate the volume and divide it by the time taken; this gives the flow rate
This topic isn’t clearly defined, and is it even valuable?
The volume that passes per unit of time is the definition of flow rate. If there are points, I’ll also provide the calculations for you
The question the poster wants to ask is: for a container with an opening at its bottom, how can the flow velocity and flow rate of the liquid at that bottom opening be estimated when the liquid level inside the container varies?
