| \rho \, q = \rho \, v_{in} \, A_{in} = \rho \, v_{out} \, A_{out} \Leftrightarrow v_{in} = \frac{q}{A_{in}}, \, v_{inout} = \frac{q}{A_{out}} |

| A_{in} = \frac{\pi \, D^2}{4} \, A_{out} = \frac{\pi \, d^2}{4} |
Bernoulli's equation reduces to an equation relating the conservation of energy between two points on the same streamline: LaTeX Math Block |

The above can rewritten as flowrate estimation with a given pressure drop : LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| q = \frac{\pi \, d^2}{4} \, \sqrt{\frac{2 \, \Delta p}{\rho \, (1 - \beta^4)}} |
The actual rate through the orifice with account for the choke/orifice geometry, friction and viscous forces is corrected by introducing the discharge coefficient : LaTeX Math Block |
---|
| q = C_d \frac{\pi \, d^2}{4} \, \sqrt{\frac{2 \, \Delta p}{\rho \, (1 - \beta^4)}} |
and correction for fluid compressibility is given by expansion factor : |
