The experimental coefficient (coefficient of the discharge) is introduced to account for the small friction
loss and it’s given by the equation,
𝐶𝑑 2(𝑝1 − 𝑝2 )
𝑣2 = √

𝐷2
√1 − ( )
𝐷 1
where 𝑣2 is the throat velocity of the fluid, 𝐶𝑑 is the coefficient of discharge, 𝐷1 is the diameter at the
inlet and outlet, 𝐷2 is the diameter at the throat, 𝑝1 is the pressure at section 1 and 𝑝2 is the pressure at
section 2 (throat), 𝜌 is the density of the fluid inside the pipe.
The discharge of coefficients are use to calibrate Venturi meters. It is define as the ratio of the
actual discharge and the theoretical discharge of a liquid. The discharge coefficient is always less than
one because if it is greater than one that would mean that the fluid ended up with more energy than it
started with. [5]
Procedure
As the venturi meter was already set up, the supply valve was opened until the pressure
readings stabilized. For the first reading of every trial, the valve was moved clockwise to 15o while for
every second reading on every trial, the valve was moved clockwise to 45o and finally for every third
reading on each trial the valve was moved clockwise to 75o. After each reading, water from the venturi
meter was collected for approximately one second.
