For the Pipe shown Q=4250 gallons per minute (gpm), P1=132 kPa and P2 = 211 kPa. If the pipe carries a special fluid of SG=1.2, determine the total head lost.
A Venturimeter has 400mm diameter at the main and 150mm at the throat. If the difference of pressure is 250mm of mercury and the meter coefficient is 0.97, calculate the discharge of oil through the Venturimeter. Take specific gravity of oil as 0.75.
A vertical Venturi meter, 150 mm in diameter is connected to a 300-mm diameterpipe. The vertical distance from the inlet to the throat being 750-mm. If the deflection of the mercury in the differential manometer connected from the inlet to the throat 360-mm, determine the flow of water through the meter if the meter coefficient is 0.68. Determine also the head lost from the inlet to the throat.
