Calculate the Tank Capacity for Irrigation is lower or adequate.

when it is given tank capacity is 10000 liters

with Inflow Rate of 2 LPS and Outflow rate of 5 LPS and continuous supply of 2 LPS . Calculate Time required
to fill and empty the tank when we start from 12.00 AM. and time to stop the outflow to again refill the full
tank. also Calculate how many times tank will empty if we want irrigation of 12 hours.

Let's break down the calculations step by step based on the given parameters:

Tank Capacity and Flow Rates:

Tank Capacity (C): 10000 liters

Inflow Rate (I): 2 liters per second (LPS)
Outflow Rate (O): 5 liters per second (LPS)
Continuous supply rate: 2 LPS (this seems to be an additional inflow rate)
Time to Fill the Tank:

Total inflow rate = Inflow rate + Continuous supply rate

Total inflow rate = 2 LPS + 2 LPS = 4 LPS

Time to fill the tank:

Time = Tank Capacity / Total Inflow Rate
Time = 10000 liters / 4 LPS
Time = 2500 seconds

Converting seconds to hours:

Time = 2500 seconds / 3600 seconds per hour ≈ 0.694 hours
Time ≈ 41.67 minutes

Therefore, it takes approximately 41.67 minutes to fill the tank from empty.

Time to Empty the Tank:

Time to empty the tank:

Time = Tank Capacity / Outflow Rate
Time = 10000 liters / 5 LPS
Time = 2000 seconds

Converting seconds to hours:

Time = 2000 seconds / 3600 seconds per hour ≈ 0.556 hours
Time ≈ 33.33 minutes

Therefore, it takes approximately 33.33 minutes to empty the tank completely.

Time to Stop Outflow and Refill the Tank:

To refill the tank, you need to consider the net inflow rate after accounting for the outflow rate:
Net inflow rate = Total inflow rate - Outflow rate
Net inflow rate = 4 LPS - 5 LPS = -1 LPS (negative because outflow rate exceeds inflow rate)

Time to refill the tank after stopping the outflow:

Time = Tank Capacity / |Net Inflow Rate|
Time = 10000 liters / 1 LPS
Time = 10000 seconds

Converting seconds to hours:

Time = 10000 seconds / 3600 seconds per hour ≈ 2.78 hours
Time ≈ 2 hours and 46.67 minutes

Therefore, it takes approximately 2 hours and 46.67 minutes to refill the tank after stopping the outflow.

Number of Times Tank will Empty in 12 Hours of Irrigation:

To find out how many times the tank will empty in 12 hours, first calculate the total outflow in 12 hours:
Total outflow = Outflow Rate * Time
Total outflow = 5 LPS * 12 hours * 3600 seconds per hour
Total outflow = 216,000 liters

Number of times tank will empty = Total outflow / Tank Capacity

Number of times tank will empty = 216,000 liters / 10,000 liters
Number of times tank will empty ≈ 21.6 times

Since you can't have a fraction of an emptying, the tank will empty approximately 21 times in 12 hours of
continuous irrigation.

In summary:
Time to fill the tank: approximately 41.67 minutes
Time to empty the tank: approximately 33.33 minutes
Time to stop outflow and refill the tank: approximately 2 hours and 46.67 minutes
Number of times tank will empty in 12 hours of irrigation: approximately 21 times
