Notes:
1. In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient "Cd" is the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge
to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same ex
2. The discharge coefficient "Cd" is a function of the jet size or orifice opening
3. The discharge coefficient "Cd" of an orifice opening varies considerably with changes in area ratio and the Reyno
4. A discharge coefficient Cd = 0.60 may be taken as standard, but the value varies noticeably at low values of the
