Surely, this depends on the pressure differential, since if there were none, there would be no flow. |

I'm guessing too that by "orphic", you mean orifice, not some device found in the Underworld. |

You must specify the medium (eg. air, its temperature and pressure-meaning density and humidity) and the pressure differential as well as the orifice area and its flow coifficent. A simple hole in a thin plate will have a coefficent of .6-.62 whereas a hole with a rounded entry will have a coefficent of 1. To simplify using "standard" air density of .075 pounds per cubic foot, the formula goes as follows- Square Root of (pressure differential/.075) Times 1096.7 Times the flow coefficent Times the orifice area in SQUARE FEET = cubic feet per min. for example your orifice is .1875 and I will assume it to be a square edged hole in a thin plate with a coefficent of .61. Its area will be PI*(.09375*.09375)=.294525 square inches. .294525/144=.002045313sq ft pressure differential will be assumed to be 10 inches of water 1096.7*sqrt(10/.075= 12663.6 feet per minite air speed the orifice area of .002045313*12663.6 = 25.9 theoretical cubic feet per minite 25.9 times the coefficent of .61 = 15.79 cubic feet per minite@ 10in water pressure differential. For other pressure differentials just replace the 10 with any other pressure in inches of water and recalculate. |
