Coefficient of Contraction given Area of Orifice Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Contraction = Area of Jet/Area of Orifice
C_c = A_c/a
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Contraction - The Coefficient of Contraction is defined as the ratio between the area of the jet at the vena contracta and the area of the orifice.
Area of Jet - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of jet is the total area of the liquid jet that is flowing.
Area of Orifice - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area of Orifice is often a pipe or tube of varying cross-sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Jet: 5.05 Square Meter --> 5.05 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Orifice: 9.1 Square Meter --> 9.1 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_c = A_c/a --> 5.05/9.1

Evaluating ... ...

C_c = 0.554945054945055

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.554945054945055 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.554945054945055 ≈ 0.554945 <-- Coefficient of Contraction

Area of Orifice given Time of Emptying Hemispherical Tank

LaTeX Go Area of Orifice = (pi*(((4/3)*Hemispherical Tank Radius*((Initial Height of Liquid^(3/2))-(Final Height of Liquid^(3/2))))-((2/5)*((Initial Height of Liquid^(5/2))-(Final Height of Liquid)^(5/2)))))/(Total Time Taken*Coefficient of Discharge*(sqrt(2*9.81)))

Area of Tank given Time for Emptying Tank

LaTeX Go Area of Tank = (Total Time Taken*Coefficient of Discharge*Area of Orifice*(sqrt(2*9.81)))/(2*((sqrt(Initial Height of Liquid))-(sqrt(Final Height of Liquid))))

Vertical distance for coefficient of velocity and horizontal distance

LaTeX Go Vertical Distance = (Horizontal Distance^2)/(4*(Coefficient of Velocity^2)*Head of the Liquid)

Area at vena contracta for discharge and constant head

LaTeX Go Area at Vena Contracta = Discharge through Mouthpiece/(sqrt(2*9.81*Constant Head))

Coefficient of Contraction given Area of Orifice Formula

LaTeX Go

Coefficient of Contraction = Area of Jet/Area of Orifice
C_c = A_c/a

What is an orifice?

The orifice is defined as the small opening on the side or bottom of a tank through which any kind of fluid is flowing. The opening can be circular, triangular, or rectangular in cross-section and they are named on the basis of shape accordingly.

What is vena contracta?

Vena contracta is the point in a fluid stream where the diameter of the stream is the least, and fluid velocity is at its maximum, such as in the case of a stream issuing out of a nozzle. It is a place where the cross-section area is minimum.
