In a pipeline with a diameter of 500mm, a venturi meter is installed. The ratio of the throat pipe diameter to the pipeline diameter is 0.5. The pressure in the pipeline is 1.5 kg/cm^2, and at the throat, it is 40 cm Hg (Vacuum). If there is a 4% loss in the differential head between the gauges, a. Determine the coefficient of discharge.? b. calculate the flow rate in the pipeline in cubic meters per second.

In a pipeline with a diameter of 500mm, a venturi meter is installed. The ratio of the throat
pipe diameter to the pipeline diameter is 0.5. The pressure in the pipeline is 1.5 kg/cm^2, and
at the throat, it is 40 cm Hg (Vacuum). If there is a 4% loss in the differential head between
the gauges,
a. Determine the coefficient of discharge.?
b. calculate the flow rate in the pipeline in cubic meters per second.
