Values for calculation

$ d $ $ \mathrm{mm} $
$ d_o $ $ \mathrm{mm} $

Calculation

Diameter ratio

$$β=\cfrac{d_o}{d}$$

Jet contraction ratio

$$λ=1+0.622\cdot\left(1-0.215\cdot β^2-0.785\cdot β^5\right)$$

Loss coefficient

$$ζ=0.0696\cdot\left(1-β^5\right)\cdot λ^2+\left(λ-β^2\right)^2$$

Discharge coefficient

$$μ=\cfrac{1}{\sqrt{ζ+1}}$$
