Getting Qideal from Bernouli and continuity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on deriving the ideal flow rate (Qideal) using Bernoulli's equation and the Continuity equation. The formula for Qideal is established as Qideal = (π*d²/4) √((2ΔP/(ρ(1-D/D')⁴)), where ΔP is defined as -ρgΔh. The original equations referenced include Bernoulli's equation: P1/ρ1 + 1/2v1² + gh1 = P2/ρ2 + (1/2)v2² + gh2, and the Continuity equation: ρ1A1V1 = ρ2A2V2. The OP seeks clarification on the application of these equations in calculating flow rates across resistances like orifice plates.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Bernoulli's equation and its components
  • Familiarity with the Continuity equation in fluid dynamics
  • Knowledge of pressure differential (ΔP) and its implications in fluid flow

So, I found a paper relating to a lab report that I've been working on that says that I can get
Qideal=(pi*d^2)/4) √((2ΔP/(ρ(1-D/D')^4 ))
From Bernouli which my book has as:
P11+1/2v1^2+gh1=P22+(1/2)v2^2+gh2

and Continuity which my book has as:
ρ1A1V1 = ρ2A2V2

I'm able to get kind of in that direction applying this,
ΔP = -ρgΔh

And the area portion makes sense logically

But I'm wondering what I'm missing.
Thanks!

The OP seems to be citing a relationship for calculating the volumetric flow rate across a resistance in the flow, such as an orifice plate based on the pressure difference across the resistance.
