Chapter 10, Problem 10.16P
For 120 ft3/m of 60 °F water flowing through a 6-in. pipe, size a suitable orifice, venturi, and nozzle flow meter if the maximum pressure drop cannot exceed 20 in. Hg. Estimate the permanent losses associated with each meter. Compare the annual operating cost associated with each if the power cost is $0.10/kW-h, a 60% efficient pump motor is used, and the meter is operated 6,000 hr/year.
