50mm Nozzle based

on Cd Orifice

As we can see, for 80mm nozzle, as Cd goes higher due to higher flow rate, the Re also increasing and
this same go to the 50mm nozzle. From the Re number, we can know that this is a type of turbulence
flow since Re is greater than 2300.

As we can see from the graph, as air flow past through the orifice plate, the pressure is slightly higher
due to the change in the diameter of the orifice plate.
