Tank to Square Opening Equation

Tank to Square Opening Equation

Tank to Square Opening Equation

(OP)
Does anyone know the equation to calculate the area of an square orifice?  The model is a closed pressurized square tank with a square orifice, and the fluid is steam. I need to control the pressure in the tank by determining the square orifice area.   

RE: Tank to Square Opening Equation

why would anyone make a square orifice? Just curious?

RE: Tank to Square Opening Equation

(OP)
First, Good news.  I found the information in Perry's.  

But I am working on a secret project, and the model is analogous to chemical engineers as a square tank with a square orifice.  Same paradigm, but my model could have confused everyone.  

I find that posting a question takes a few days for response, so I post first and then research.  Typically, I solve the problem however the posts to my questions provide new references and directions from my current one.
