An orifice meter with orifice diameter 15 cm is inserted in a pipe of 30 cm diameter. The pressure difference measured by a mercury oil differential manometer on the two sides of the orifice meter gives a reading of (x = 50 cm) of mercury. Given specific gravity of oil (Soil =0.9) and the co-efficient of discharge of the meter is 0.64. Calculate. i. pipe area (A1) ii. orifice area (A2) iii. area ratio (m•) iv. difference of pressure head (h) v. entrance velocity (v1) vi. theory flow rate (Q1) vii. actual flow rate (QActual)
