Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the primary formula used to calculate discharge through a free jet orifice?

  • Q = C_d A \\\\sqrt{g(h)}
  • Q = C_d A \\\\sqrt{2gh}
  • Q = A \\\\sqrt{gh}
  • Q = Hg \\\\sqrt{g}

💡 Hint: Observe how area and height contribute to the flow.

Question 2

A larger orifice area leads to what effect on discharge, assuming height remains constant?

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the concept of flow rate.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a free jet orifice has a diameter of 0.1 m, find the discharge for a height of fluid 15 meters. Assume C_d = 0.7. Discuss how discharge would change if the height were increased to 20 meters.

💡 Hint: Enhance your calculation by re-evaluating Q for increased height.

Question 2

In a piping system designed for a certain orifice, if the discharge coefficient is noted to decrease, what should be identified first to restore the anticipated flow rate? Provide potential solutions.

💡 Hint: Think about the factors that influence the discharge coefficient besides the orifice itself.
