Aventuri meter is to be installed in a 63 mm bore section of a piping system to measure the flow rate of water in it. from space considerations, the maximum differential head in the mercury manometer is to be 235 mm. the maximum expected flow rate is 240 litres per minute. design the throat diameter by assuming the discharge coefficient to be 0.8

To save energy, the air supply to a 2000 ft office has been shut off overnight and the room temperature has dropped to 40°f. in the morning, the thermostat is reset to 70°f and warm air at 120 f begins to flov in at 200ft'/min. the air is well mixed within the room, and an equal mass flow of air at room temperature (changing with time) is withdrawn through a return duct. the air pressure is nearly 1 atm everywhere. ignoring heat transfer with the surroundings and kinetic and potential energy effects, estimate how long it takes for the room temperature to reach 70°f. plot the room temperature as a function of time.
