Oil (ρ=1100 kg/m³,u = 5.6 X 10-4 kg/m s) flows through a 4.3 cm diameter pipe. The flow rate needs to be measured with a 3 cm diameter orifice meter that is equipped with a mercury       (ρ = 19060 kg/m3) manometer across the orifice plate. If the differential height is 11 cm, calculate the oil flow rate through the pipe and the average flow velocity. Explain any assumptions that you use.    Hint: Start by assuming a value for C0 and find the flow rate, average velocity and Re. Check if assumed value for C0 was correct. If not, apply a second iteration by choosing a new value for C0.
