Absolute pressure head at vena-contracta (Hvc) = atmospheric pressure head (Ha) - 0. 89* (Head available at the centre of the mouthpiece (H)).

If the pressure is below atmospheric pressure then how the flow is possible from vena contracta to the atmosphere?

@Shubham.
The discharge rate is increased due to a decrease in the pressure at vena contracta within the mouthpiece resulting in an increase in the effective head causing the flow.
