Q = C_d*A*(sqrt(2*g*h_elbowmeter))
This formula uses 1 Functions, 5 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

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.
Coefficient of Discharge of Elbow meter - Coefficient of Discharge of Elbow meter is defined as reduction factor for theoretical discharge.
Cross sectional area of Pipe - (Measured in Square Meter) - Cross sectional area of Pipe is the area of the pipe through which the given liquid is flowing.
Acceleration Due To Gravity - (Measured in Meter per Square Second) - The Acceleration Due To Gravity is acceleration gained by an object because of gravitational force.
Elbowmeter Height - (Measured in Meter) - Elbowmeter height is defined as the ratio of the pressure difference at inlet and outlet of manometer and specific weight of that liquid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Discharge of Elbow meter: 21 --> No Conversion Required
Cross sectional area of Pipe: 18 Square Centimeter --> 0.0018 Square Meter (Check conversion here)
Acceleration Due To Gravity: 9.8 Meter per Square Second --> 9.8 Meter per Square Second No Conversion Required
Elbowmeter Height: 38 Meter --> 38 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

Q = C_d*A*(sqrt(2*g*h_elbowmeter)) --> 21*0.0018*(sqrt(2*9.8*38))

Evaluating ... ...

Q = 1.03160071345458

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.03160071345458 Cubic Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

1.03160071345458 ≈ 1.031601 Cubic Meter per Second <-- Rate of flow
