A horizontal Venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 300 mm and 100 mm respectively is used to measure the flow of water. The pressure intensity at inlet is 130 KN/m2, while the vacuum pressure head at the throat is 350 mm of mercury. Assuming that 3% of head is lost in between the inlet and throat, find, the value of Cd for the Venturimeter and rate of flow.
