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.
9. (10 points) An orifice meter with a 1.0 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 30 inches, determine the volumetric flowrate (gal/min) of water through the pipe. You may assume the discharge coefficient is 0.6.
9. (10 points) An orifice meter with a 1.5 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 15 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...
