The above equation gives discharge under ideal condition and is called
theoretical discharge .but in actual practice ,there is always some losses of
energy as the fluid flows through venturimeter ,on account of which actual
practice discharge will be less than theoretical discharge .
cd
Coefficient of discharge is defined as the ratio between the actual discharge and
theoretical discharge of venturimeter.
