5. A calibration test of a 20 mm circular sharp-edged orifice in the end of a 50 mm pipe showed a discharge of 0.85 liters/second of water when the pressure head in the centerline of the pipe just upstream from the orifice was 1m. The diameter of the jet was found to be 16 mm. Compute the three orifice coefficients.

A smooth pipe with a constant diameter 0.20 m carries water at a temperature of 30oC (Refer Table Q4(c)). The Pipe pressure at section 1 and section 2 is 50 kPa and 20 kPa, respectively. Section 1 is located 2 m lower than section 1. Determine the head loss in the pipe.
Include a free body diagram. A 12′′ pipe is being tested to evaluate the lost head. When the flow of water is 6.31 cfs, the pressure at point A in the pipe is 40 psi. A differential gage is attached to the pipe at A and at a point Bdownstream that is 10 ft higher than A. The deflection of mercury in the gage is 3.33 ft, indicating a greater pressure at A. What is the lost head A to 5?
A venturi meter with a throat diameter of 100 mm is fitted in a vertical pipeline of 200 mm diameter with oil of specific gravity 0.88 flowing upwards.

In a vertical pipe conveying oil of specific gravity 0.8, two pressure gauges have been installed at A and B where the diametres are 16 cm and 8 cm respectively. A is 2 metres above B. The pressure gauge readings have shown that the pressure at B is greater than A by 0.981 N/cm2. Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate. If the gauges at A and B are replaced by tubes filled with the same liquid and connected to a U-tube containing mercury, calculate the difference of level of mercury in the two limbs of the U-tube.Image attached.

HYDRAULICS LABORATORY LABORATORY NO.4 2. The experimental results show that there is a pressure drop across the meter from inlet to outlet, and this pressure drop increases with discharge. Would there be any disadvantages in using this pressure drop rather than that between the inlet and the throat for the purpose of calibrating the meter? Why?
