Orifice gravitational constant formula

\( G =  ( Q \;/\; C_d \; A_o )^2  \;/\; 2 \; h  \)     (Orifice Gravitational Constant)

\( Q =  A_o \; C_d \; \sqrt { 2 \; G \; h } \)

\( C_d =  Q  \;/\; A_o \; \sqrt{ 2 \; G \; h }  \) 

\( A_0 =  Q  \;/\; C_d \; \sqrt{ 2 \; G \; h }  \) 

\( h =  ( Q \;/\; A_o \; C_d )^2  \;/\;  2  \; G  \)

\(G \) = orifice gravitational constant  \(lbf-ft^2 \;/\; lbm^2\)  \(N - m^2 \;/\; kg^2\)
\( Q \) = orifice flow rate \(ft^3 \;/\; sec\) \(m^3 \;/\; s\)
\( C_d  \) = orifice discharge coefficient \( dimensionless \)
\( A_o \) = orifice area \( in^2 \) \( mm^2 \)
\( h \) = orifice center of head \( in \) \( mm \)
