2. The required flow of water over land that is generally flat and difficult to excavate. Importance of Exemplar in Real Life. Civil engineers play a vital role in the planning, design and operation of water resource systems. In the specialist area of water resources engineering they design and manage urban and rural water supply.

This article provides calculation methods for correlating design, flow rate and pressure loss as a fluid passes through a nozzle or orifice. Nozzles and orifices are often used to deliberately reduce pressure, restrict flow or to measure flow rate.

Subscripts

In the case of a simple concentric restriction orifice the fluid is accelerated as it passes through the orifice, reaching the maximum velocity a short distance downstream of the orifice itself (the Vena Contracta). The increase in velocity comes at the expense of fluid pressure resulting in low pressures in the Vena Contracta. In extreme cases this may lead to cavitation when the local pressure is less than the vapour pressure of a liquid.

Downstream of the Vena Contracta in the recovery zone, the fluid decelerates converting excess kinetic energy into pressure as it slows. When the fluid has decelerated and returned to the normal bulk flow pattern the final downstream pressure has been reached.

The discharge coefficientcharacterises the relationship between flow rate and pressure loss based on the geometry of a nozzle or orifice. You can find typical values in our article on discharge coefficients for nozzles and orifices.

The relationships for flow rate, pressure loss and head loss through orifices and nozzles are presented in the subsequent section. These relationships all utilise the parameter, the ratio of orifice to pipe diameter which is defined as:

Where the point downstream of the orifice is sufficiently far away that the fluid has returned to normal full pipe velocity profile.

Horizontal Orifices and Nozzles

For orifices and nozzles installed in horizontal pipework where it can be assumed that there is no elevation change, head loss and flow rate may be calculated as follows:

Vertical Orifices and Nozzles

For orifices and nozzles installed in vertical piping, with elevation change, the following head loss and flow rate equations may be used:

Expansion Coefficient

The expansion coefficient takes account of the difference between the discharge coeffcicient for compressible and incompressible flows. It is defined as:

The expansion factoris typically determined empirically and can be calculated using one of the formulas below.

For incompressible fluids:

Water Flow Through A Horizontal Slot

FLOW AREA FOR GRATES:

The net open area of each grate is listed, so that a general comparison of flow rates can be made. These open areas are figured for the entire grate. When determining actual flow areas, this should be reduced by the area of the seat. The net open area is calculated in square inches.

RESTRICTED GRATE OPENINGS:

When you design your project and you select a grate design, it is often necessary to consider slot size. We have identified the USF grates with relatively small slot lengths as “Restricted Grate Openings”. This term is applied when the slot lengths are 6 1/2 inches or less. The 6 1/2 inch dimension is an arbitrary length and does not imply the recommendation of a grate for any particular application.

ADA (AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT) APPLICATIONS:

When you design your project, you should be attentive of how the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) affects the placement of products. The application, as it relates to grating, states that grates in walking surfaces have slot openings 1/2 inch or less in one direction. Grates with elongated opening will be placed with long dimension perpendicular to the dominant direction of travel.

US Foundry offers many options to accommodate your ADA requirements including Trench and Inlet Grating, Catch Basins and Curb Inlets that are ADA compliant when installed properly. These products are found in our “Trench Grate” section, page here and throughout the “Catch Basin”, “Curb and Gutter” and “Cast Iron Grating” sections. However, we do suggest reviewing ADA specifications before specifying a particular item. Contact us to see how we can meet your needs.
