Abstract
Water tanks can be seen in communities all across the country, but how well are they designed? In this work, we study the optimal shape of water tanks to _and the fastest emptying time. In particular, we compare emptying the for different shaped water towers with the Same volume, height, and cross-sectional outlet area. We _rest review a formula for the emptying time as a function of the volume and the tank's height and then compute the emptying time for several speci_c tank shapes. The question of whether there exists a tank with a minimal emptying time is also considered in the context of prior work. Finally, our added contribution is to _x the volume of a typical water tank and compute the area and the emptying time for di_erent tank shapes, including composites, in order to develop an understanding for how an optimal tank might be designed.
