Actual value of Cg depends upon the flare (expansion) and the length of the tube, By following exactly similar steps as in case of an external cylindrical mouth piece, various quantities like the coefficient of dischargo Cq, the discharge and the pressure head at ¢~c can be obtained. The governing factor again is the pressure head at ¢ - c, which should not fall below the vapour pressure of the liquid. 4.
