This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Area for Siphon Throat - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area for Siphon Throat is the area of the siphon from where the discharge is released.
Volume Flow Rate - (Measured in Cubic Meter per Second) - Volume Flow Rate is the volume of fluid that passes per unit of time.
Coefficient of Discharge - The Coefficient of Discharge or efflux coefficient is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge.
Acceleration due to Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - Acceleration due to Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Head of Liquid - (Measured in Meter) - The Head of Liquid is the height of a liquid column that corresponds to a particular pressure exerted by the liquid column from the base of its container.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Volume Flow Rate: 1.5 Cubic Meter per Second --> 1.5 Cubic Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Coefficient of Discharge: 0.94 --> No Conversion Required
Acceleration due to Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Head of Liquid: 15 Meter --> 15 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

A_s = Q/(C_d*(2*g*H)^(1/2)) --> 1.5/(0.94*(2*9.8*15)^(1/2))

Evaluating ... ...

A_s = 0.0930657197106071

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0930657197106071 Square Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.0930657197106071 ≈ 0.093066 Square Meter <-- Area for Siphon Throat
