Coefficient of discharge for area and velocity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Discharge = (Actual Velocity*Actual Area)/(Theoretical Velocity*Theoretical Area)
C_d = (v_a*A_a)/(V_th*A_t)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge or efflux coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.
Actual Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Actual velocity is the velocity at which a microscopic particle of dust would be traveling if it were in the air stream.
Actual Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Actual area is termed in the relation of actual discharge.
Theoretical Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Theoretical velocity is defined as the velocity that is calculated theoretically.
Theoretical Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Theoretical area is termed in the relation of theoretical discharge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Velocity: 8 Meter per Second --> 8 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Actual Area: 4.8 Square Meter --> 4.8 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Theoretical Velocity: 9 Meter per Second --> 9 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Theoretical Area: 5.2 Square Meter --> 5.2 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_d = (v_a*A_a)/(V_th*A_t) --> (8*4.8)/(9*5.2)

Evaluating ... ...

C_d = 0.82051282051282

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.82051282051282 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.82051282051282 ≈ 0.820513 <-- Coefficient of Discharge
