Chapter 1, Problem 1.21P
Figure 1.15 Orifice flow meter setup used for Problem 1.21.
1.21 The relation between the flow rate, Q, through a pipeline of area A and the pressure drop Ap across an orifice-type flow meter inserted in that line (Figure 1.15) is given by Q = CAyJlApIp where p is density and C is a coefficient. For a pipe diameter of 1 m and a flow range of 20 °C water between 2
