Actual Velocity of Flowing Stream Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Actual Velocity = Coefficient of Velocity*sqrt(2*[g]*Height of Fluid)
v = C_v*sqrt(2*[g]*H_f)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Actual Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Actual Velocity refers to the velocity at which a microscopic particle of dust would be traveling if it were in the air stream.
Coefficient of Velocity - The Coefficient of Velocity refers to the ratio of the actual velocity of a fluid jet at the vena contracta (the point of minimum cross-sectional area) to the theoretical velocity of the jet.
Height of Fluid - The Height of Fluid refers to the vertical distance from the surface of the fluid to a reference point, usually the bottom of the container or a specific depth within the fluid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Velocity: 0.92 --> No Conversion Required
Height of Fluid: 12.1 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v = C_v*sqrt(2*[g]*H_f) --> 0.92*sqrt(2*[g]*12.1)

Evaluating ... ...

v = 14.1728061848033

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

14.1728061848033 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

14.1728061848033 ≈ 14.17281 Meter per Second <-- Actual Velocity

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
