An engineer monitored a flow of gasoline of about 50 m3/h and of density ,ρ 680 kg/m3 through a 10-cm-diameter smooth pipe. If the engineer used an orifice plate of a long-radius flow through the nozzle, or a venturi nozzle, all with 5-cm-diameter throat. The differential pressure gauge available was accurate in the range 30 to 60 KPa and of dynamic viscosity, μ 2.92E-4 kg/m-s. Without considering flow losses, which device is best?
