Question

a2/ The flow velocity of water in a pipe is
measured by a pitot static tube. The tube
is placed at the centre of a 30 cm
diameter pipe. The difference between
the stagnation and static pressures
measured as head of mercury and
converted to head of water is 10 cm. If
the coefficient of velocity Cv = 0.98.
determine the velocity of water in the
pipe. If the mean velocity is 0.7 times the
centre line velocity, compute the
discharge of water through the pipe.
