Question 1

What represents the coefficient of discharge (C_d)?

  • The ratio of Q_actual to Q_theoretical
  • The theoretical discharge only
  • The actual measured discharge only

💡 Hint: Think about efficiency in flow measurements.

Question 2

True or False: A coefficient of discharge greater than 1 indicates energy losses.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the ideal flow conditions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

An orifice in a tank has a theoretical discharge of 25 m³/hr but measures only 15 m³/hr when tested. What is the coefficient of discharge, and what design modifications could improve performance?

💡 Hint: Reflect on ways to mitigate friction losses.

Question 2

If a venturi meter indicates an actual discharge of 50 m³/s with a C_d of 0.9, what is its theoretical discharge? Discuss what factors could affect this in practice.

💡 Hint: Consider how the design of the venturi influences flow.
