Determinación del tiempo de llenado y/o vaciado de depósitos en sistemas fuentes por bombeo.

In the present work, a calculation methodology is proposed to determine the filling and / or emptying times of the tanks in the pumping source systems. It focuses on solving a discrete calculation model that takes into account the main hydraulic variables that characterize three schemes or cases of design and operation in these systems. Two discrete approach calculation models are presented as a function of height and time, which are implemented in the MATLAB version R2013b numerical computing system for the comparison of different variants of the design schemes described. Both analytical procedures are used to solve a practical example where the three cases of operation are illustrated for different variants and calculation alternatives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
