Q-4 The apparatus shown in the figure is used to measure the velocity of air at the center of a duct having a 10 cm diameter. A tube mounted at the center of the duct has a 2 mm diameter and is attached to one leg of a slant-tube manometer. A pressure tap in the wall of the duct is connected to the other end of the slant-tube manometer. The well of 10 cm p = 150 kPa the slant-tube manometer is sufficiently large that the elevation of the fluid in it does not change significantly when fluid moves up the leg of T= 20°C the manometer. The air in the duct is at a temperature of 20°C, and the pressure is 150 kPa. The manometer liquid has a specific gravity 30 of 0.7, and the slope of the leg is 30°. When there is no flow in the duct, the liquid surface in the manometer lies at 2.3 cm on the slanted scale. When there is flow in the duct, the liquid moves up to 6.7 cm on the slanted scale. Find the velocity of the air in the duct. Assuming a uniform velocity profile in the duct, calculate the…

Q/ The laminar flow of water through a pipe is measured by means of a pitot tube situated in the center of the pipe; the reading of a mercury manometer connected to the pitot is 100 mm. The flow is also measured by a venturi meter which connected with the same mercury manometer and the pressure drop across it equals to 300 mm. Find the ratio of venturi to pipe diameter and determine the pressure drop due to friction across the venturi meter.
