Chapter 8, Problem 150P
Air flows through a venturi meter with a 3-in.-diameter throat placed in a 6-in.-diameter line. Assume that the upstream pressure is 60 psi and the temperature is 68°F. Determine the maximum possible mass flow rate of air for which the assumption of incompressible flow is a valid engineering approximation. Compute the corresponding differential pressure reading on a mercury manometer.

For this siphon the elevations at A, B, C, and D are: 30 m, 32 m, 27 m, and 26 m, respectively. The head loss between the inlet and point B is three-quarters of the velocity head, and the head loss in the pipe itself between point B and the end of the pipe is one-quarter of the velocity head. For these conditions, what is the discharge and what is the pressure at point B? The pipe diameter 25 cm.
Air flows through a Venturi channel of rectangular cross section as shown. The constant width of the channel is 0.06 m and the height at the exit is 0.04 m. Compressibility and viscous effects are negligible. (a) Determine the flowrate when water is drawn up 0.10 m in a small tubeattached to the static pressure tap at the throat where the channel height is 0.02 m. (b) Determine the channel height, h2, at section (2) where, for the same flowrate as in part (a), the water is drawn up 0.05 m. (c) Determine the pressure needed at section (1) to produce this flow.
A venturi meter is introduced in a 300 mm diameter horizontal pipeline carrying a liquid under a pressure of 150 kPa. The throat diameter of the me-
ter is 100 mm and the pressure at the throat is 400 mm of mercury below atmosphere. If 3% of the differential pressure is lost between inlet and the
throat, determine the flow rate of the pipeline.
