    Orifice

    The document provides examples of calculations to size orifices for liquid and gas flow. For liquid flow, it shows input data like flow rate, fluid properties, pipe dimensions, and desired pressure drop. It then calculates the orifice diameter needed using correlations between the pressure drop coefficient K and the beta ratio. For gas (compressible) flow, it similarly shows input data for inlet pressure, flow rate, orifice and pipe sizes. It uses the critical pressure ratio and beta ratio to iteratively solve for the orifice diameter or pressure drop that achieves the desired flow rate.
