calculating volume of a horizontal cylindrical tank from depth
Has anyone found a good formula to convert a depth of fluid to a volume remaining in a tank for a cylindrical tank laying horizontal? (with or without half sphere end caps)
Much Thanks!

The version without half sphere end caps was asked here.

(Pi*r^2)/2 + Sqrt[h]*(h - r)*Sqrt[-h + 2*r] + r^2*ArcTan[(h - r)/(Sqrt[h]*Sqrt[-h + 2*r])]

You could see Wikipedia on the area of a circular segment and multiply by the length. If you want spherical end caps, see Wikipedia on a spherical cap. The two ends together make a sphere.
