Question
A venturi meter with a 1.0 in. diameter throat is mounted in a 2.0 in. diameter pipe
carrying water (p = 63.36 lbm/ft', u= 7.536 x 10 lbm/ft-s). The pressure drop
across the venturi is measured using a mercury U-tube manometer (SG = 13.55) is
determined to be 5.0 in. Hg. Assume the venturi discharge coefficient CD = 0.98.
Consider the following:
%3D
i)
Determine the pressure drop across the venturi meter (lbf/ft').
ii)
Calculate the volume flow rate in the pipe (ft'/s).
