This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 6 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

Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of actual discharge to theoretical discharge.
Discharge of Channel - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Discharge of Channel is the rate of flow of a liquid.
Cross Section Area 1 - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross Section Area 1 is the area of cross section at the inlet of the structure (venturimeter or pipe).

What is Rate of Flow?

In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol Q. The SI unit is cubic metres per second. Another unit used is standard cubic centimetres per minute. In hydrometry, it is known as discharge.
