Discharge Coefficient given Mass Flow Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Discharge Coefficient = Actual Mass Flow Rate/Ideal Mass Flow Rate
C_D = m_a/m_i
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Discharge Coefficient - Discharge Coefficient is the ratio of flow rate at exit to flow rate at inlet.
Actual Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Actual Mass Flow Rate is the mass of a substance that passes per unit of time.
Ideal Mass Flow Rate - (Measured in Kilogram per Second) - Ideal Mass Flow Rate is the mass of air going out of the nozzle when no loss is considered.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Actual Mass Flow Rate: 4 Kilogram per Second --> 4 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
Ideal Mass Flow Rate: 5 Kilogram per Second --> 5 Kilogram per Second No Conversion Required
