Actual Discharge given Coefficient of Discharge Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Actual Discharge = Theoretical Velocity*Coefficient of Discharge
Q_actual = V_theoritical*C_d
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Actual Discharge - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Actual discharge is given by the actual area and velocity.
Theoretical Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Theoretical Velocity describes the maximum speed an object falling from a given height would reach if there was no air resistance.
Coefficient of Discharge - Coefficient of Discharge is ratio of Actual discharge to theoretical discharge.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Theoretical Velocity: 1.5 Meter per Second --> 1.5 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.66 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q_actual = V_theoritical*C_d --> 1.5*0.66

Evaluating ... ...

Q_actual = 0.99

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.99 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.99 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Actual Discharge

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)
