Question
C3. An oil of specific gravity 0.88 is flowing
through a horizontal venturimeter fitted to a
272 mm diameter pipe at the rate of 144
liters/s and throat diameter is 118 mm. The
pressure gauges are inserted at the entrance
and the throat show pressures of 0.128
N/mm2 and 0.077
N/mm2 respectively. Calculate (i) the head
difference in m of oil, (ii) the theoretical
discharge in m/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.
(i) the head difference in m of oil
(ii) the theoretical discharge in m3/s
(ii) the actual discharge in m3/s
(iv) the coefficient of discharge of a
venturimeter
(v) the difference in the mercury level in
meter
