In a 100 mm diameter horizontal pipe, a venturimeter of 0.5 contraction ratio has been fitted. the head of water on the meter when there is no flow is 3 m (gauge). find the rate of flow for which the throat pressure will be 2m of water absolute. discharge coefficient for the meter is 0.97.

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

Where,

is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ =

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ =

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

or

or

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

explanation:

as the height from which the ruler was dropped increased, the speed of the ruler at ryan's hand increased.

the working equation for the angular size is the product of the physical size and 360 degrees divided by the product of two pi and distance from earth. the minimum size would be 0.559 degrees while the maximum size would be 0.49 degrees.
