Inlet Area given Theoretical Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Cross Section Area 1 = sqrt(((Theoretical Discharge*Cross Section Area 2)^2)/((Theoretical Discharge)^2-(Cross Section Area 2^2*2*[g]*Venturi Head)))
A_i = sqrt(((Q_th*A_f)^2)/((Q_th)^2-(A_f^2*2*[g]*h_venturi)))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 4 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

Cross Section Area 1 - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross Section Area 1 refers to the area of cross section at the inlet of the structure (venturi meter or pipe).
Theoretical Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - The Theoretical Discharge refers to the ideal flow rate of a fluid through a system, calculated under perfect conditions without considering any real-world losses like friction or turbulence.
Cross Section Area 2 - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Cross Section Area 2 refers to the area of cross-section at the throat (venturi meter) of the structure.
Venturi Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Venturi head refers to the difference between pressure head at inlet and pressure head at the throat.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Theoretical Discharge: 1.277 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.277 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Cross Section Area 2: 1.8 Square Meter --> 1.8 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Venturi Head: 24 Millimeter --> 0.024 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_i = sqrt(((Q_th*A_f)^2)/((Q_th)^2-(A_f^2*2*[g]*h_venturi))) --> sqrt(((1.277*1.8)^2)/((1.277)^2-(1.8^2*2*[g]*0.024)))

Evaluating ... ...

A_i = 7.07349298747947

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.07349298747947 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.07349298747947 ≈ 7.073493 Square Meter <-- Cross Section Area 1

What is Conservation of Energy?

Conservation of energy, principle of physics according to which the energy of interacting bodies or particles in a closed system remains constant. When the pendulum swings back down, the potential energy is converted back into kinetic energy. At all times, the sum of potential and kinetic energy is constant.
