A venturi meter having a throat diameter of 100mm is fitted into a pipeline which has a diameter of 250mm through which water is flowing. The pressure difference between the entry and throat tapping measured by a U-Tube Manometer containing mercury of a relative density of 13.6 and the connections are filled with the water flowing in the pipeline. If the difference of level indicated by the mercury in the U-tube is 0.63m, calculate: The theoretical volumetric flow rate and The actual volumetric flowrate if the coefficient of discharge is 0.9
