Draining of a tank is one of the few practical applications oftransient flow that can be analyzed at the level of fluid mechanics knowledge typical ofundergraduate engineering students. Mass conservation is applied to the tank to relate the changein height of the free surface to the exit velocity from the hole in the side of the tank. The tankdraining experiment also
