The formula for Thick-Edge Orifice

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the thick-edge orifice formula and its relationship to discharge influenced by orifice length. Participants highlight the lack of available formula derivation and recommend using an online calculator found at http://www.pressure-drop.com/Online-Calculator/. Additionally, they suggest searching for "orifice thickness to diameter ratio" for further literature on the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of fluid dynamics principles
  • Familiarity with orifice flow equations
  • Knowledge of discharge measurement techniques
  • Basic proficiency in using online calculators for engineering applications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the derivation of the thick-edge orifice formula
  • Explore literature on orifice thickness to diameter ratio
  • Investigate the impact of orifice length on discharge rates
  • Learn about fluid dynamics simulation tools for orifice flow analysis
USEFUL FOR

Engineers, researchers in fluid dynamics, and anyone involved in designing or analyzing orifice flow systems will benefit from this discussion.

Hi all,

I have some problem in my research about the thick-edge orifice formula. I can't find the influence of orifice length to the discharge.
I have found an online calculator for it but I can't find the formula derivation. Anybody can help me? Anybody have recommended literature?
