Question
H.W. (a) Derive an expression for the volumetric flow rate of a fluid flowing through an orificemeter. Write down
the advantages and disadvantages of using orificemeter over a venturimeter. (b) Water is flowing through a
pipeline of 50 cm ID at 30°C. An orifice is placed in the pipeline to measure the flow rate. Orifice diameter is 20
cm. If the manometer reads 30 cm of Hg, calculate the water flow rate and velocity of the fluid through the pipe.
pwater at 30°C = 987 kg/m³. p = 13600 kg/m. Orifice co-efficient. = 0.6
