Flow through hinged hatch on inclined wall

In summary, a flow through hinged hatch on an inclined wall is a mechanism that allows for fluid or gas to pass through a hatch on a non-horizontal surface. It consists of a hinged door attached to an inclined wall and can be easily opened and closed without extra equipment. Some advantages of this design include ease of use, controlled flow, and efficient drainage. Factors to consider when designing include size and weight, wall angle, and material choice. Safety precautions and maintenance should also be taken into account when using this type of hatch.

Homework Statement
I have a tank, where I want to determine the outflow through an orifice. The problem is that the orifice opening is controlled by a hatch with varying angles dependent on the sum of torques.

So far I have only been able to come up with an equation for the flow (Q) using the orifice equation through the inclined area and thus not dependent on the angle.

Can someone help me with an expression for this?

Would not the flow out the bottom be the adjacent side of triangle with angle alpha? You could use a trig ratio to express that bottom side.
 

FAQ: Flow through hinged hatch on inclined wall

What is a flow through hinged hatch on an inclined wall?

A flow through hinged hatch on an inclined wall is a mechanism that allows fluid or gas to pass through a wall at an angle. It consists of a hinged door or panel that can be opened or closed to control the flow.

How does a flow through hinged hatch work?

The flow through hinged hatch works by using the force of gravity to allow fluid or gas to pass through the inclined wall. When the hatch is opened, the fluid or gas will flow down the inclined surface and out through the opening. When the hatch is closed, it blocks the flow and prevents any leakage.

What are the advantages of using a flow through hinged hatch on an inclined wall?

One advantage is that it allows for controlled flow of fluid or gas without the need for additional pumps or equipment. It also minimizes the risk of leaks or spills. Additionally, the inclined wall design can help with drainage and prevent buildup of debris or sediment.

What factors should be considered when designing a flow through hinged hatch on an inclined wall?

Some important factors to consider include the angle of the inclined wall, the size and weight of the hinged door or panel, and the type of material used for the hatch and wall. The flow rate and pressure of the fluid or gas should also be taken into account to ensure efficient and safe operation.

Where are flow through hinged hatches on inclined walls commonly used?

Flow through hinged hatches on inclined walls are commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment. They can also be found in various applications such as drainage systems, flood control, and spill containment.
