A horizontal venturimeter with a 100 mm diameter throat section is used to measure the volume flow rate of water at 20°C in a 200 mm pipeline. If the pressure in the pipeline at the entrance to the venturi meter is 480 kPa and the pressure in the throat of the venturi meter is measured 400 kPa, estimate the actual flowrate (Qact) in the pipe in liters per second. Assume the velocity coefficient (C) of the venturi meter as 0.98 and the contraction coefficient (C) as 0.99. Use the density of water at 20°C from Table B.2 (998.2 kg/m³).
