SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on deriving an expression for flow (Q) through a hinged hatch on an inclined wall using the orifice equation. The user has successfully formulated the flow equation based on the inclined area but seeks assistance in incorporating the angle of inclination into the flow expression. The suggestion involves utilizing trigonometric ratios to express the flow in relation to the adjacent side of the triangle formed by the angle alpha.
