Can someone please tell me the source of this formula below for flow through orifice in flashing condition? It would be very helpful.
Thank you.
p1 : Primary Pressure (kPa abs) p2 : Secondary Pressure (kPa abs) do : Diameter of Orifice (mm) C : Discharge Coefficient Qw : Water Flow Rate (m³/h) FL : Pressure recovery factor (=0.9) FF : Critical pressure ratio factor P : Absolute vapor pressure of the water at inlet temperature (kPa abs) SG : Specific Gravity
