Coefficient of Contraction given Area of Orifice Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Coefficient of Contraction = Area of Jet/Area of Orifice
Cc = Ac/a
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Coefficient of Contraction - The Coefficient of Contraction is defined as the ratio between the area of the jet at the vena contracta and the area of the orifice.
Area of Jet - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of jet is the total area of the liquid jet that is flowing.
Area of Orifice - (Measured in Square Meter) - The Area of Orifice is often a pipe or tube of varying cross-sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas).
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Area of Jet: 5 Square Meter --> 5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Orifice: 9.1 Square Meter --> 9.1 Square Meter No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
Cc = Ac/a --> 5/9.1
Evaluating ... ...
Cc = 0.549450549450549
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
0.549450549450549 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
0.549450549450549 0.549451 <-- Coefficient of Contraction

Area of Orifice given Time of Emptying Hemispherical Tank
Go Area of Orifice = (pi*(((4/3)*Hemispherical Tank Radius*((Initial Height of Liquid^(3/2))-(Final Height of Liquid^(3/2))))-((2/5)*((Initial Height of Liquid^(5/2))-(Final Height of Liquid)^(5/2)))))/(Total Time Taken*Coefficient of Discharge*(sqrt(2*9.81)))
Area of Tank given Time for Emptying Tank
Go Area of Tank = (Total Time Taken*Coefficient of Discharge*Area of Orifice*(sqrt(2*9.81)))/(2*((sqrt(Initial Height of Liquid))-(sqrt(Final Height of Liquid))))
Horizontal distance for coefficient of velocity and vertical distance
Go Horizontal Distance = Coefficient of Velocity*(sqrt(4*Vertical Distance*Head of the Liquid))
Vertical distance for coefficient of velocity and horizontal distance
Go Vertical Distance = (Horizontal Distance^2)/(4*(Coefficient of Velocity^2)*Head of the Liquid)
Area at vena contracta for discharge and constant head
Go Area at Vena Contracta = Discharge through Mouthpiece/(sqrt(2*9.81*Constant Head))
Area of Mouthpiece in Borda's Mouthpiece Running Full
Go Area = Discharge through Mouthpiece/(0.707*sqrt(2*9.81*Constant Head))
Area of Mouthpiece in Borda's Mouthpiece Running Free
Go Area = Discharge through Mouthpiece/(0.5*sqrt(2*9.81*Constant Head))
Coefficient of Contraction given Area of Orifice
Go Coefficient of Contraction = Area of Jet/Area of Orifice

Coefficient of Contraction given Area of Orifice Formula

Coefficient of Contraction = Area of Jet/Area of Orifice
Cc = Ac/a

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.

What is vena contracta?

Vena contracta is the point in a fluid stream where the diameter of the stream is the least, and fluid velocity is at its maximum, such as in the case of a stream issuing out of a nozzle. It is a place where the cross-section area is minimum.
