The vertical orifice is one of the flow metering devices used to determine the discharge of fluid flowing through it. It is a small opening given at the bottom of the tank with the inlet of fluid placed at the top of the opening through which the fluid is discharging freely into the atmosphere. With these changes in the direction of fluid flow, many losses occur, such as head loss and energy loss. This work aims to determine the orifice coefficients, which are also known as hydraulic coefficients Cd, CV and CC to study the dependence of these coefficients on the head of water. In this study, the authors briefly described the vertical orifice, its applications, advantages, disadvantages and limitations of this application. The Torricelli’s law is also explained in brief along with the hydraulic coefficients. The experimental study is done to know the trajectory path of the jet for the different head of water. |
