Explanation:

Orifice meter:

  • An orifice meter is a cheap device for discharge measurement.
  • The coefficient of discharge (Cd) is defined as the ratio of actual discharge to the ideal discharge.

 Cd =\(\frac{\text { Actual discharge }}{\text { Theoretical discharge }}\) 

  • The value of Ca carries between 0.61 to 0.65.
