Pipes & Cistern Important Formulas
1. Inlet:
A pipe connected with a tank or a cistern or a reservoir, that fills it, is known as an Inlet.
2. Outlet:
A pipe connected with a tank or cistern or reservoir, emptying it, is known as an outlet.
3. If a pipe can fill a tank in x hours, then:
part filled in 1 hour = \(\frac{1}{x}\)
4. If a pipe can empty a tank in y hours, then:
art emptied in 1 hour = \(\frac{1}{y}\).
5. If a pipe can fill a Tank/Cistern in x hours and another pipe can empty the full Tank/Cistern in y hours (where y > x),
Then on opening both the pipes, then the net part filled in 1 hour = \(\left(\frac{1}{x} \ - \ \frac{1}{y}\right)\).
6. If a pipe can fill a Tank/Cistern in x hours and another pipe can empty the full Tank/Cistern in y hours (where x > y),
Then on opening both the pipes, then the net part emptied in 1 hour = \(\left(\frac{1}{y} \ - \ \frac{1}{x}\right)\)
