Question
Water flows through a Venturi meter, as shown in the figure. The pressures of the water at locations a and b in the pipe support columns
of water that differ in height by L-16 in. The atmospheric pressure is 14.7 lbf/in², the specific volume of water is 0.01604 ft³/lb, and
the acceleration of gravity is g - 32.0 ft/s².
Patm = 14.7 lbf/in.²
g= 32.0 ft/s²
Step 1
Water
v = 0.01604 ft³/lb
Determine the difference in pressure between points a and b, in lbf/in².
Does the pressure increase or decrease from point a to point b?
Determine the difference in pressure between points a and b, in lbf/in².
