A venturi meter was installed in a pipe to measure the flow of the water inside. The inlet diameter of the venturi is 25.4mm and the throat diameter is 12.7mm. Determine the actual flow rate in gpm if the throat Reynolds number is 10^5. The density and viscosity of the fluid is 62.4 Ibm/ft^3 and 3.511kg/m-hr, respectively. The venturi coefficient of discharge is 0.95.( do include unit/s in your answer and use two decimal places)

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...
