If the differential height between the water columns connected to the two outlets of the probe is 3.2 cm, determine (a) the flow velocity and (b) the pressure rise at the tip of the probe. The air temperature and pressure in the duct are 45° C and 98 kPa, respectivelyarrow_forwardWater is flowing through a venturi meter whose diameter is 7 cm at the entrance part and 4 cm at the throat. The pressure is measured to be at 380 kPa at the entrance and 150 kPa at the throat. Neglecting frictional effects, determine the flow rate of water in SI units.arrow_forward
