- I did a venturi effect experiment which involved taking 15 mesurements. The opening of the damper at the end of the tube was increasing in increments of 0.5cm for each of the 15 mesurements. Then the change in length in manometer tube was recorded. the manometer tube used in this experiment wasn't vertical, it was horizontal with a slight incline. Room temperature and pressure were recorded at the start of experiment as well. As the opening of the damper increased from mesurements 1 to 15, the change in length of manometer tube also increase from 1 to 15. the bigger diameter of the tube is 140mm and the diameter of throat section is 89mm. The density of the fluid is 870 kg/m. Using this information workout all the equations on the image and also the mass flow rate which should be volumetric flow rate multiplied by density.
