An orifice meter with a 2 inch diameter opening is used to measure the flow rate of water through a horizontal 3 inch diameter pipe. A mercury manometer is used to measure the pressure difference across the orifice. If the differential height of the manometer is 7 inches, determine the volumetric flowrate (gal/min) of water through the pipe. You may assume the discharge coefficient is 0.6.

thermaldynamics and fluid mechanics Question 4 An orifice plate flow meter, as shown in figure Q4, is situated in a horizontal pipe of 95 cm diameter (d) in which water flows. The pressure difference between the vena contracta and flow upstream at point 1 is measured using a differential manometer. The diameter of the sharp-edged orifice (d.) is 35 cm. The coefficient of discharge for the flow meter is 0.7, and the coefficient of contraction is 0.62. Assume the density...
A Venturi meter equipped with a differential pressure gage is used to measure the flow rate of water at 15°C (p = 999.1 kg/m”) through a 5-cm- diameter horizontal pipe. The diameter of the Venturi neck is 3 cm, and the measured pressure drop is 5.1 kPa. Taking the discharge coefficient to be 0.98, determine the volume flow rate of water and the average velocity through the pipe. 5 cm 3 cm Differential pressure gage Is The volume flow rate...
In a laboratory experiment, an orifice of diameter 15 mm is installed in a 25 mm diameter pipe and two pressure tappings, one before and one after the orifice, are connected to a vertical mercury manometer. The discharge is obtained by measuring the rise of water level in a 30 cm x 30 cm square tank collecting the outflow from the pipe. For a particular experiment, the difference in manometer readings was 130 mm of H level was 120 mm...

A venturi meter is used to measure the flow speed of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is connected between two sections of the pipe (the figure); the cross-sectional area A of the entrance and exit of the meter matches the pipe's cross-sectional area. Between the entrance and exit, the fluid flows from the pipe with speed V and then through a narrow ''throat'' of cross-sectional area a with speed v. A manometer connects the wider portion of the...
A vortex shedding flow meter is used to measure volume flowrate through a 100 mm diameter pipe. The pipe is housing a fluid of Reynolds number = 10000. If a bluff body of 50 mm inside the meter produces 20 vortices per second, calculate the volume flowrate through the pipe.
