Theoretical Discharge in Hydraulics and Waterworks Formulas

The Theoretical Discharge refers to the ideal flow rate of a fluid through a system, calculated under perfect conditions without considering any real-world losses like friction or turbulence. And is denoted by Q_th. Theoretical Discharge is usually measured using the Cubic Meter per Second for Volumetric Flow Rate. Note that the value of Theoretical Discharge is always positive.
