What is coefficient of discharge?

The coefficient of discharge is defined as the ratio of the actual discharge from an orifice to the theoretical discharge from the orifice.

What is an orifice?

The orifice is defined as the small opening on the side or bottom of a tank through which any kind of fluid is flowing. The opening can be circular, triangular, or rectangular in cross-section and they are named on the basis of shape accordingly.
