Functions
Flowrate
Flowrate is the volume of liquid flowing over unit area in unit time.
Symbol: ν
Measurement: Volumetric Flow RateUnit: m³/s
Note: Value should be between 0 to 100000000.
Area of Orifice
The Area of Orifice is often a pipe or tube of varying cross-sectional area, and it can be used to direct or modify the flow of a fluid (liquid or gas).
Symbol: a
Measurement: AreaUnit:
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Height of Tank
The Height of Tank is the distance from the centre of orifice to the top of the tank.
Symbol: h
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be between 1 to 22100000.
Gravitational acceleration on Earth
Gravitational acceleration on Earth means that the velocity of an object in free fall will increase by 9.8 m/s2 every second.
Symbol: [g]
Value: 9.80665 m/s²
sqrt
A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number.
