Derivation

[edit]

I'm pretty sure the derivation assumes v_1=0 by taking the pressure at the bottom to be \rho*g*h, so it is wrong and confusing. The result says that a larger aperture yields a stronger stream, which is counter-intuitive and not conserving energy. I'm not an expert in fluid dynamics, but I suggest to let an expert review this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wengro (talkcontribs) 21:09, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
