Welcome...!
You may seen that most of the water tankers have open roof and keep their rear valve open. Those moving water tankers keep on spilling water on the road....
This is not because of their laziness and it has a definite purpose to reduce the
sloshing effect.
Suppose the water tanker is moving and abruptly comes
to a stop/halt, the water inside will slosh.
This may have undesirable effects including toppling of the tanker.
Oil tankers will handle the slosh by compartmentalization. If the compartment is completely full, the oil inside can‘t move when the tanker stops. These tankers will have many compartments and unload the oil compartment wise. They do not roam around with a half filled compartment.
Water tanker on the other hand have unplanned stops. Taking into account the fact that water is
relatively cheaper than oil.
Truckers adopt the two common ways to control the sloshing effect. One is opening the rear outlet to leak water and another is to open the outlet on the roof. However both lead to waste a certain amount of water.
Unless otherwise an innovative and cheaper way is found to avoid the slosh, the water will spill on the roads forever.

ReplyDeleteThank you dear...hope the technology will resolve the issue soon
Deletealready I know,and then the tanks are having multiple passage inside the tank to reducing fluctuation of liquids during braking time...
