    Question

    The ratio of actual discharge of a jet of water to its theoretical discharge is known as-

    A.

    Coefficient of velocity

    B.

    Coefficient of discharge

    C.

    Coefficient of viscosity

    D.

    Coefficient of contraction

    Correct option is B


    The ratio of the actual discharge of a jet of water to its theoretical discharge is known as the coefficient of discharge. This coefficient accounts for the effects of velocity, contraction, and other factors that cause the actual discharge to be less than the theoretical value. It is an important parameter in fluid mechanics and is used to evaluate the performance of nozzles, weirs, and other hydraulic structures.
    Cd = Ca/Cth
