A horizontal Venturi meter with a throat diameter of 150 mm is connected a pipe of diameter of 250 mm to measure the discharge in the pipe. The pressures just upstream of the connection and at the throat were found to be 140 kPa and 80 kPa, respectively. Determine the flow rate in the pipe. Take the coefficient of discharge for the Venturi meter as 0.98 and T = 55°C. (Expected answer range: 0.190 m²ls
