.A venturi meter is used to measure liquid flow rate of 7500 litres per minute. The difference in pressure across the venturi meter is equivalent to 8 m of the flowing liquid. The pipe diameter is 19 cm. Calculate the throat diameter of the venturi meter. Assume the coefficient of discharge for the venturi meter as 0.96
As an engineer, you are setting up an experiment to measure the airflow rate in a duct. Choose a technique and devices for the measurement.
