Outlet flow rate vs time
At 15min,
Outlet water flow rate: 355.8 L/min
At 30 min,
Inlet and outlet water flow rate will be equal.
At 60 min,
Projected water flow rate: 2354.07 L/min
Volume of water vs time
Water tank volume: 5929.569 L
At 42 min,
Water will overflow from tank
At 60 min,
Projected volume of water in tank: 7298.16 L

Water level vs time
Water tank height: 197mm
At 36 min,
Water level at outlet will be full
At 60 min,
Water level at outlet: 2578mm
2.4 Conclusion
Water inlet flow rate is higher than outlet flow rate after 60 minutes, suggesting
it’s still filling up the tank. Projected time of 30 minutes is required for inlet-
outlet flow rate to be equal.
Water will get overflowed at 42 minutes
Water level at outlet will be full at 36 minutes
