A 2 million gallon tank 2016-09-28
From Kimberly:
I have a tank that is shaped like a cylinder, and it has to hold 2 million gallons of water. There is a height limit of 30 ft. I know the equation is V=pi x r squared x h but I don't know if I need anything For the square foot of water.

A tilted cylinder tank 2016-03-28
From Astri:
I have a problem determining the fluid level for tilted cylinder tank. Actually I've found some solution here for horizontal cylinder tank. What if the cylinder is tilted at a certain degree, for example 30 degree from the vertical axis.
Thank you.

The volume of fluid in a tank 2012-09-06
From Dave:
I have vertical round flat bottom tanks of various dimensions. It is easy to find total volume but I would like to know how to figure out the coversion factor to go from how many centimeters of liquid is in the tank to the number of total cubic meters of volume. So if my float gauge on the tank says there is 50 cm of fluid in the tank, how many cubic meter of total volume is there?

Gasoline in a cylindrical tank 2008-05-25
From Simon:
A cylindrical tank with height 15m and diameter 2m is being filled with gasoline at a rate of 500L/min. At what rate is the fluid level in the tank rising?(1L = 1000cm^3). About how long will it take to fill the tank?

A cylindrical tank 2007-11-16
From Mario:
I want to determine how many gallons i have inside a cylinder (tank) that is resting on its side (the Height), NOT standing up. I know V=pi x r2 x H. And 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons. Here are the dimensions r=2' H=20'. Now my question is how do I determine how much liquid i have inside, if the level of the liquid is about 1/2 of the way of its Diameter (in other words 2'). Remember this cylinder is lying on its side.

How many gallons of water 2007-06-19
From Marie:
A water treatment plant is built with three cylindrical tanks to contaim the water for a town. Each tank has a radius of 15 feet and a depth of 25 ft.

If there are about 7.5 gallons in a cubic foot of water, approximately how many gallons of water can be treated at the plant at any one time?

The number of gallons in a tank 2006-03-09

Gasoline in a cylindrical tank 2005-03-23
From Jennifer:

Gasoline is stored in a tank which is a cylinder on its side. Height of fuel is "h" meters and the diameter is "d". The length is "l".

I need to find the amount of gas in the tank when the height is h and also to calculate the fraction of how full it is.

Also, the part I am really confused on is this one,
E(h/d) is the error of the function of h/d, when h/d is used to measure how full the tank is. For what value of h/d is the error maximal?
