A venturi meter is used to measure the flow speed of a fluid in a pipe. The meter is connected between two sections of the pipe (the figure); the cross-sectional area A of the entrance and exit of the meter matches the pipe's cross-sectional area. Between the entrance and exit, the fluid flows from the pipe with speed V and then through a narrow "throat" of cross-sectional area a with speed v. A manometer connects the wider portion of the meter to the narrower portion. The change in the fluid's speed is accompanied by a change Ap in the fluid's pressure, which causes a height difference h of the liquid in the two arms of the manometer. (Here Ap means pressure in the throat minus pressure in the pipe.) Suppose that the fluid is fresh water, that the cross- sectional areas are 93 cm2 in the pipe and 31 cm2 in the throat, and that the pressure is 53 kPa in the pipe and 44 kPa in the throat. What is the rate of water flow in cubic meters per second? Meter Meter entrance Venturi meter exit a Pipe 1 Pipe -Manometer

At one point in a pipeline the water's speed is 3.00m/s and the gauge pressure is 5.00•10^4 Pa. Find the gauge pressure at a second point in the line, 11.0m lower than the first, if the pipe diameter at the second point is twice that at the first. note: density of water is 1000 kg/m^3.
The figure below shows a Venturi meter for measuring the water flow rate through a pipe. The cross-sectional area at Stations 1 and 2 is 0.01 m² and 0.006 m², respectively. The pressure difference between Stations 1 and 2 is measured using a U-tube manometer containing a liquid with a specific gravity (SG) of 1.4. The manometer head is h = 0.5 m. What is the volume flow rate Q through the pipe? Neglect viscous effects. The gravitational acceleration g is 9.81 m/s² and the density of water is 1000 kg/m³. (Note: The pressure difference is NOT simply given by PMgh, where PM is the density of the manometer liquid.) Q= 1. [0.014113976, 0.015599657 m³/s. 1 2 IT h
Question 7 A liquid, with a density of 850 kg/m3 , is flowing downwards through a vertical pipe from a point a to a point B.The diameter at A is 150mm and the diameter at B is 75mm.Point B is 2.4m below point A.If 21 dm3 /s of the liquid flows through the pipe, the pressure gauges (connected at A and B) indicates a pressure difference of 12kPa.The loss of head across the pipe between A and B is given as KV2 /2g , where V is the velocity at A.Calculate the value of K.

Question 2 A brand of toothpaste is made using a mixture of white and red paste. During the manufacturing process, both pastes are pumped through a pipe, with the red paste lying in the centre of the pipe, as shown in Figure Q2. The pipe has an internal radius, R₂, and the segment of red paste has a radius R₁. The flow is found to follow the Poiseuille equation, i.e. u(r) 1 dp - (R² — r²) 4μ dx dp Where is the pressure gradient. The total flow of dx u is the viscosity of the paste and toothpaste through the pipe is Qtot, and the flowrate of the red paste is red- The toothpaste has a density of p = 1200 kg/m³, and a viscosity of 0.03 Pa.s.
