Inlet – A pipe connected with a tank or a cistern or a reservoir, that fills it, is known as an inlet.
Outlet – A pipe connected with a tank or cistern or reservoir, emptying it, is known as an outlet. Sometimes outlet is also referred as waste pipe.
Formulae:
• If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then part filled in 1 hour =
• If a pipe can empty a tank in y hours, then part emptied in 1 hour =
• If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on opening both the pipes, the net part filled in 1 hour =
• If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where x > y), then on opening both the pipes, the net part filled in 1 hour =
• If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where y > x), then on opening both the pipes, the time taken to fill the tank =
• If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours and another pipe can empty the full tank in y hours (where x > y), then on opening both the pipes, the time taken to empty the tank =
• Time ∝
