Orifice center of head formula

\( h_c =  ( Q \;/\; C_d \; A_o )^2  \;/\; 2 \; G   \)     (Orifice Center of Head)

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

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

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

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

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