Question
Q2: A venturimeter is fitted in a pipe of 30 cm diameter inclined at 40° to the horizontal to measure
the flow rate of petrol having a specific gravity of 0.8. The ratio of areas of main pipe and throat is
5 and the throat is at 1 m from the inlet along its length. The difference in manometer head is 40
mm of mercury. Assuming the coefficient of discharge as 0.96. Calculate the discharge through the
venturimeter and the pressure difference between the throat and the entry point of the venturimeter.
