By using the equipment ARMFIELD it was possible to measure the discharged time of
water which was deposited in a tank attached to the equipment. A known hole diameter
(TA-8) was inserted into the discharge side of the equipment. In this way it could be done
other relevant measurements as the diameter of the vena contracta of the fluid, the height
reached in the y-axis and the distance x which been reached. With these measurements it
was possible to calculate values required for the analysis, such as velocity, contraction
and discharged coefficient. According to the calculations performed it was determined that
velocity, contraction and dischaged coefficient for the TA-8 hole, were 1.016, 0.716 and 0.727,
respectively. With the values obtained it was concluded that; the value of velocity coefficient
was higher due to systematic measurement errors. Contraction coefficient let us know than
the diameter of the fluid was reduced by of the original diameter. And the last factor
showed that there was a minimal difference between the real discharge and theoretical one.
Also, it was determinated that the real time of discharged is always less than that expected by
applying the formula to find the value of theoretical time. Finally the results may be more
accurate by using a timer in practice
