Question

A Venturimeter is is placed at 30° to the horizontal (sloping upwards in
the direction of flow) to a pipe line carrying on oil of specific gravity
0.8. A differential with mercury as the manometer fluid is attached to the
inlet and throat of the Venturimeter. The pipe diameter is 200 mm, while
the diameter of Venturi throat is 100 mm.
a) Find the volume flow rate of oil if the manometer reading was
100mm.
b) What will be the reading of differential manometer if the
Venturimeter is tuned horizontal?
Q2)
A tank of water empties by gravity through a horizontal pipe into
another tank. There is a sudden enlargement in the pipe as shown. At a
certain time, the difference in levels is 3 m. Each pipe is 2 m long and
has a friction coefficient 0.005. The inlet loss constant is K 0.3.
Calculate the volume flow rate at this point.
