Actual Velocity
The Actual Velocity refers to the velocity at which a microscopic particle of dust would be traveling if it were in the air stream.
Symbol: v
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Coefficient of Velocity
The Coefficient of Velocity refers to the ratio of the actual velocity of a fluid jet at the vena contracta (the point of minimum cross-sectional area) to the theoretical velocity of the jet.
Symbol: Cv
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Venturi Head
The Venturi head refers to the difference between pressure head at inlet and pressure head at the throat.
Symbol: hventuri
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Velocity at Point 2
The Velocity at Point 2 refers to the direction of the movement of the body or the object.
Symbol: Vp2
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Coefficient of Contraction
The Coefficient of Contraction refers to the ratio between the area of the jet at the vena contract and the area of the orifice.
Symbol: Cc
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 0 to 1.
Area of Orifice
The Area of Orifice refers to the any opening, mouth, hole or vent, as in a pipe, a plate, or a body.
Symbol: ao
Measurement: AreaUnit: m²
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Cross Section Area 1
The Cross Section Area 1 refers to the area of cross section at the inlet of the structure (venturi meter or pipe).
Symbol: Ai
Measurement: AreaUnit: m²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
