Water is flow in a 4 in Schedule 40 steel pipe at 20oC and 1 atm. Orifice meter with orifice diameter 6.2 cm is fitted in pipe to the horizontal to measure the flow rate of water. The difference in manometer head is 5 cm of mercury. Expansion factor can be taken as 1. a) Calculate the volumetric flow rate of water. b) What would be the throttle diameter of venturi meter if a venturi meter was used in a system where the flow rate is 4 m/s and pressure drop is the same in part (a). Note: Be sure to check your assumption for orifice and venturi meter constants

Question
Water is flow in a 4 in Schedule 40 steel pipe at 20oC and 1 atm. Orifice meter with orifice diameter 6.2
cm is fitted in pipe to the horizontal to measure the flow rate of water. The difference in manometer head
is 5 cm of mercury. Expansion factor can be taken as 1.
a) Calculate the volumetric flow rate of water.
b) What would be the throttle diameter of venturi meter if a venturi meter was used in a system where
the flow rate is 4 m/s and pressure drop is the same in part (a).
Note: Be sure to check your assumption for orifice and venturi meter constants
