A venturi meter is used to measure liquid flow rate of 450 m3
/h. The difference in pressure
across the venturi meter tapping points is equivalent to 8 m of the flowing liquid. Diameter of
the pipeline is 20 cm. Calculate the throat diameter of the venturi meter. Assume the coefficient
of discharge for the venturi meter as 0.96.
An oil of specific gravity 0.84 is flowing through a horizontal venturimeter fitted to a 258 mm diameter pipe at the rate of 112 liters/s and throat diameter is 136 mm. The pressure gauges are inserted at the entrance and the throat show pressures of 0.132 N/mm2 and 0.075 N/mm2 respectively. Calculate (i) the head difference in m of oil, (ii) the theoretical discharge in m3/s, (iii) the actual discharge in m3/s, and (iv) the coefficient of discharge of a venturimeter. If instead of pressure gauges, the entrance and throat of the venturimeter are connected in the two limbs of a U-tube mercury manometer, determine (v) the difference in the mercury level in meter.
An orificemeter with ortfice diameter 12 cm is inserted in a
pipe of 20 cm diameter. The pressure difference between
upstream and downstream of the orifice is 9.81 N/cm, The
coefficient of discharge for orificemeter is 0.6. Find the
