    This document discusses flow through orifices, including the calculation of discharge through a sharp-edged orifice using the formula Q = Ca?2gh. It also explains that the coefficient of discharge C is the product of the coefficient of velocity Cv and coefficient of contraction Cc. Flow through a submerged orifice can be computed using Bernoulli's equation applied to points before and after the orifice.

    Flow Through Orifices.

    Orifice Discharge into Free Air


    An orifice is an opening with a closed perimeter through which water flows. Orifices may
    have any shape, although they are usually round, square, or rectangular.

    Discharge through a sharp-edged orifice may be calculated from:


    Q = Ca?2gh

    where
    Q= discharge, ft3/s (m3/s)
    C =coefficient of discharge

    a =area of orifice, ft2 (m2)


    g =acceleration due to gravity, ft/s2 (m/s2)
    h =head on horizontal center line of orifice, ft (m)

    The coefficient of discharge C is the product of the coef- ficient of velocity Cv and the
    coefficient of contraction Cc. The coefficient of velocity is the ratio obtained by dividing the
    actual velocity at the vena contracta (contraction of the jet discharged) by the theoretical
    velocity. The theoretical velocity may be calculated by writing Bernoulli’s equation for points
    1 and 2.Thus

    V2= ?2gh
    The coefficient of contraction Cc is the ratio of the smallest area of the jet, the vena
    contracta, to the area of the orifice.
    Submerged Orifices
    Flow through a submerged orifice may be computed by applying Bernoulli’s equation to
    points 1 and 2 in figure below

    Values of C for submerged orifices do not differ greatly from those for non submerged
    orifices.
