Question

A 100 mm I.D. pipeline carries water flowing at a rate of 75 cubic meter
per hour. A mercury manometer and a venturi meter are to be installed to
provide flow rate measurement. If the manometer is set to have a
maximum reading of 1.25 m, determine the following:
(a) the needed throat diameter of the venturi [mm]
(b) power necessary to operate the meter [kW]


Density and viscosity of water is 999 kg/m3 and 1 cP.
