1. In a test to determine the discharge coefficient of a 50 mm by 12.5 mm Venturi meter the total weight of water passing through the meter in 5.0 minutes was 3420 N. A mercury-water differential gage connected to inlet and throat of the meter showed an average difference during that time of 38 cm. Determine the meter coefficient. Assume your own meter fluid specific gravity. 2. Considering the figure below, determine the actual discharge using the same meter coefficient as that computed from number 1. Q 30 cm ø Datum Line 1 15 cm ø 30 сm Water (sp. gr. = 1) 50 cm Q Gage liquid (sp. gr. = assume)
