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.
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.
A flow rate meter is used to measure the flow rate of a water flow from left to right) in an inclined position. Due to spatial confinement, the two pressure taps-manometer tubes were inclined as well as shown. The meter is similar to a Venturi meter except at the small pipe the pressure tap is a stagnation pressure tap at 2. For the given geometries, calculate: 1) (4 pts)The velocity at the large pipe, in m/s 2) (3 pts)The velocity...
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...
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...
The venturi flowmeter shown in the figure is used to measure the flow rate of water in a solar collector system. The flowmeter is inserted in a pipe with diameter 1.9 cm ; at the venturi of the flowmeter the diameter is reduced to 0.64 cm . The manometer tube contains oil with density 0.82 times that of water. If the difference in oil levels on the two sides of the manometer tube is 1.7 cm , what is the...
Open with Google Docs ▼ Question 3 Calculate the flow rate of water in a pipe of 30 cm diameter placed in an inclined position where a venturi meter is inserted, having a throat diameter of 15 cm. The difference of pressure between the main and throat is measured by a liquid of s.g. 0.6 in an inverted U-tube which gives a reading of 30 cm. The loss of head between the main and throat is 0.2 times the kinetic...
[10] Design Problem As shown in the figure below, a double-pipe parallel-flow heat exchanger is used to heat cold fluid which is water (Cp = 4180 J/(kg.K), p = 1000 kg/m) from 20°C to 80°C at a rate of 0.15 kg/s. The heating is to be accomplished by hot fluid, which is geothermal water (Cp = 4310 J/(kg.K), p = 1050 kg/m²) available at 130°C at a mass flow rate of 0.25 kg/s. The inner tube has an inner diameter...
