Abstract:
A discharge for a fluid system has an inlet and an outlet in which a fluid flows from the discharge inlet to the discharge outlet. The discharge inlet has a inlet cross-sectional area. The discharge outlet has a plate. The plate has a plurality of radially extending ribs. The radially extending ribs are equiangularly spaced about a center axis of the plate. The radially extending ribs define a plurality of radially extending slots between the equiangularly spaced apart ribs. The radially extending ribs are dimensioned such that a sum of an area of all of the radially extending slots is greater than the discharge inlet cross-sectional area. When the fluid flows through the plate slots from the discharge outlet, it has a discharge coefficient of greater than 0.4.
