                Cc = area of jet/area of orifice
Cc = π r ^2/&pi r^2
Cc = r^2/r^2
As r = D/2.
 
32/2 = 16,
40/2 = 20,
Cc = 16^2/20^2.
Cc = 0.64.

                Coefficient of contraction = Diameter of orifice/Diameter of Jet = 32/40 = 0.8.

                Coefficient of contraction=area of jet/area of orifice.
= ((3.14*32*32)/4)/((3.14*40*40)/4).
= 803.84/1256 = 0.64.
                = ((3.14*32*32)/4)/((3.14*40*40)/4).

                CC = Area at vena contracta/ Area of orifice.
The typical value may be taken as 0.64 for a sharp orifice (concentric with the flow channel).

                COC= Area of a jet at vena contracta/Area of orifice.
So, (Dv)2/(Do)2.
32*32/40*40.
= 0.64.
                So, (Dv)2/(Do)2.
32*32/40*40.

                Cc=Ac/A. 
Ac=(π/4)d*2 = (3.14/4)*(32*32),
A=(π/4)d*2=(3.14/4)*(40*40),
Cc=0.64.
                Ac=(π/4)d*2 = (3.14/4)*(32*32),
A=(π/4)d*2=(3.14/4)*(40*40),
Cc=0.64.
