The coefficient of discharge of a venturi meter is calculated to account for any discrepancies between the theoretical flow rate and the actual flow rate. It helps in correcting for losses due to friction and other factors in the fluid flow, and ensures accurate measurement of the flow rate through the venturi meter.
In Venturi meter losses are less so coefficient of discharge is higher whereas in orifice meter due to no convergent and divergent cones there are more losses and hence its coefficient of discharge is less.In venturi meter losses are low due to steamline shape of the diffuser and the pressure gradient is not abrupt as in case of orifice meter.
The discharge coefficient is near unity and Non-recoverable net head loss is very small.
Pressure loss in a venturi is typically caused by friction between the fluid flow and the venturi walls, as well as disruption and mixing of the fluid stream. This pressure loss is necessary for the venturi to create a pressure differential, which allows for measurement or control of fluid flow rate.
