Calculate the piezometeric head using the formula:

Here, is the piezometeric head, is the pressure at point 1, is the pressure at point 2,
is the specific weight of water, and is the elevation difference.

Substitute 60 kPa for , 50 kPa for , for , and 0.3 m for :

Find the ratio:

Here, d is the orifice diameter and D is the diameter of the pipe.

Substitute 10 cm for d and 50 cm for D:

Determine the flow coefficient using the formula:

 Here, is Reynolds number, K is the flow coefficient, g is the specific gravity, and v is the
kinematic viscosity.

Substitute 0.43 m for d, 1.321 m for , for g, and for v:

Take the flow coefficient from versus flow coefficient diagram using ratio value:

Determine the discharge of water using the orifice equation:

Here, Q is the discharge.

Substitute 1.321 m for , 0.60 for K, 0.043m for , and for g:

Thus, the discharge of the water is .
