Explain the following. Pitot tube is not suited for measurement of turbulent fluctuations.

Consider Figure 1, which includes an illustration of the proposed orifice plate meter. The piping isNominal 2 in Schedule 40, the orifice plate radius is 0.5′′ in, and the plate itself is 0.5′′ thick.Flow goes left to right, and to measure pressure losses during flow you will install a differentialpressure sensor along the length that will measure the pressure losses. One port for the differentialsensor will be placed 4′′ upstream (P1 ) and the other port will be placed 15′′ downstream (P3).The distance between the ports will be 19.5′′. The ports will be flush with the inner pipe wall sowe can assume the pressure measured is the fluid pressure at the wall of the pipe If the fluid (viscosity = 0.001 Pa·s and density = 1200 kg/m 3) flows at 1 gpm, estimate thepressure lost over the 19.5′′ span with the orifice plate in place. You should estimate CDfrom Figure 2 and do not neglect pipe friction.C. If we think of this orifice plate as a “fitting,” what is the equivalent length (L/D) e?…

Oil is transported from A to B along a pipe of constant diameter. The pipe is inclined at 50° to the horizontal and B is at the higher elevation. Considering the flow from A to B, which statement is correct? O The pressure head is decreasing and the velocity head is increasing. O The pressure head and velocity head are both decreasing. O The pressure head is decreasing and the velocity head is constant. O The pressure head and velocity head are both increasing. O The pressure head is increasing and the velocity head is decreasing.

Consider the attached figure, which includes an illustration of the proposed orifice plate meter. The piping is Nominal 2 in Schedule 40, the orifice plate radius is 0.5″ in, and the plate itself is 0.5″ thick. Flow goes left to right, and to measure pressure losses during flow you will install a differential pressure sensor along the length that will measure the pressure losses. One port for the differential sensor will be placed 4″ upstream (P1) and the other port will be placed 15″ downstream (P3). The distance between the ports will be 19.5″. The ports will be flush with the inner pipe wall so we can assume the pressure measured is the fluid pressure at the wall of the pipe. 1. If the fluid (viscosity = 0.001 Pa·s and density = 1200 kg/m3) flows at 1 gpm, estimate thepressure lost over the 19.5″ span with the orifice plate in place. Estimate CD from the second figure and do not neglect pipe friction. 2. If the orifice plate is seen as a “fitting,” what is the equivalent length…
