Question
A venturi meter with a throat diameter of 100 mm is fitted in a vertical pipeline of 200 mm diameter with oil of specific gravity 0.88 flowing upwards. Two pressure gauges are fitted at tapping points, one at the throat and the other in the inlet pipe 320 mm below the throat. The difference between the 2 gage pressure readings is 28 kPa.
a) Determine the flow in m^3/s neglecting head losses. (Please round-off final answer to four decimal places) *
b) Working from Bernoulli’s equation, determine the difference in level (in millimeters) between the two limbs of a mercury manometer if it is connected to the tapping points and the connecting pipes are filled with the same oil. (Please round-off final answer to a whole number)
