@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.

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?

Wat is Hc and Ha? @Vishwanath

Hc = Ha - 0.89 H.
