Velocity Coefficient Formula Elements

Variables
Velocity Coefficient
Velocity Coefficient is the ratio of the actual exit velocity to the ideal exit velocity.
Symbol: Cv
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Actual Exit Velocity
Actual exit velocity is the velocity at the exit of nozzle, it includes losses due to external factors.
Symbol: Cact
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Ideal Exit Velocity
Ideal Exit Velocity is the velocity at the exit of nozzle, it does not includes losses due to external factors.
Symbol: Cideal
Measurement: SpeedUnit: m/s
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
