Rate of flow or discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Rate of Flow = Cross-Sectional Area*Average Velocity
Q = A_cs*v_avg
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Rate of Flow - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Rate of Flow is the rate at which a liquid or other substance flows through a particular channel, pipe, etc.
Cross-Sectional Area - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross-Sectional Area is the area of a two-dimensional shape that is obtained when a three-dimensional shape is sliced perpendicular to some specified axis at a point.
Average Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Average Velocity is defined as the mean of all different velocities.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Cross-Sectional Area: 130 Square Centimeter --> 0.013 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Average Velocity: 76.5 Meter per Second --> 76.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = A_cs*v_avg --> 0.013*76.5

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 0.9945

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.9945 Cubic Meter per Second -->994500 Cubic Centimeter per Second (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

994500 Cubic Centimeter per Second <-- Rate of Flow

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

How discharge is expressed for compressible and incompressible fluids?

For incompressible fluids, it is expressed as the volume of fluid flowing across the section per second. For the compressible fluids, it is expressed as the weight of fluid flowing across the section.

What is coefficient of discharge?

In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as the coefficient of discharge or efflux coefficient) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.

How to Calculate Rate of flow or discharge?

Rate of flow or discharge calculator uses Rate of Flow = Cross-Sectional Area*Average Velocity to calculate the Rate of Flow, The Rate of flow or discharge formula is defined as the quantity of fluid flowing per second through a section of pipe or a channel. Rate of Flow is denoted by Q symbol.
