Mathcad - Restricted Orifice Surge Tank

This document summarizes the calculations for a restricted orifice surge tank design. It defines parameters like flow rate, pipe length, elevation changes, and orifice dimensions. It then calculates properties of the surge tank like dimensions, water heights, and surge pressures. The maximum upsurge water level is found to be 1094.847 meters above the flow regulation level.
