Coefficient of Discharge given Discharges Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Coefficient of Discharge = Actual Discharge/Theoretical Velocity
C_d = Q_actual/V_theoritical
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge refers to the volume of fluid (such as water) that flows through a pipe or channel per unit of time.
Actual Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Actual discharge refers to the refers to the volume of fluid (such as water) that flows through a pipe or channel per unit of time.
Theoretical Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Theoretical Velocity refers to the maximum speed an object falling from a given height would reach if there was no air resistance.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Discharge: 0.587 Cubic Meter per Second --> 0.587 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Theoretical Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

C_d = Q_actual/V_theoritical --> 0.587/1.5

Evaluating ... ...

C_d = 0.391333333333333

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.391333333333333 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.391333333333333 ≈ 0.391333 <-- Coefficient of Discharge
