Experiment (5)Flow through small orifice By: Eng. Motasem M. Abushaban. Eng. Fedaa M. Fayyad.
Introduction • An Orifice is an opening in the side or base of tank or reservoir through which fluid is discharge in the form of a jet. • The discharge will depend upon the head of the fluid (H) above the level of the orifice. • The term small orifice means that the diameter of the orifice is small compared with the head producing flow.
Purpose • Studying the flow through small orifice discharging to atmosphere. • Calculating the coefficient of discharge (Cd). • Calculating the coefficient of velocity (Cv). • Calculating the coefficient of contraction (Cc)
, Theory • Two reasons for the difference between theoretical and actual discharge. • First: The velocity of jet is less than the velocity calculated because there is losses of energy between point A and B. ,Cvis the coefficient of velocity
Theory • Second: The stream line of the orifice contract reducing the area of flow. (Vena Contraction) Where. Ccis the coefficient of contraction. Cd in the range [0.6-0.65]
