5. Calculations and Results:
1. Calculate Qact by using equation (Qact=Vol/time).
2. Calculate the cross sectional area of upstream section (A1) and throat
section (A2) by using equation (Area=(𝜋/4)d2).
3. Calculate the differential between reading (h1-h2).
4. Calculate the theoretical discharge (Qtheortical) by using equation (1).
5. Calculate Cd by using equation (2).
6. Calculate the average of the discharge coefficient by collecting the
calculated runs and dividing it on the readings number.
7. Plot the relationship between the actual flow rate (Qact) versus the root
square of (h1-h2)1/2

6. Discussion:
1. Is there a difference between the values of Qideal calculated
by equation
(1) and Qact using equation (Qact=Vol/time)? Why?
