A venturimeter is used to measure water flow rate of 7.5m^3/min. If pressure difference between the wide and throat sections of the venturi is 12.50 kPa, and the pipe diameter at the wide section is 20 cm, calculate the throat diameter. (Use density=1000 kg/m^3 and coefficient of discharge Cd=0.96).

For an ideal fluid, Use dimensional analysis to express the flow Q through an orifice in terms of the density of the fluid, the diameter of the orifice D, and the pressure difference ∆p. You may recall that the expression to be found by this method tells you about how the variables in consideration are related, but it does not give you an answer, or even a full equation, to determine flow from the given variables. How you could use...

Remember that pressure drop in piping vary as the diameter is changed, assuming the mass flow rate is the same. you found that pressure drop is inversely proportional to diameter to the fifth power. You also know that velocity in the duct/pipe is inversely proportional to area or diameter squared, again for the same mass flow rate. Your water flow analysis is based on achieving a water flow velocity similar to the air velocity (24 ft/s), however the result for...

6. Water is used to circulate heat through a house. The water starts in the basement with a speed of 0.8 m/s in a pipe and a pressure of 3.46 atm. The pipe goes up 6 m to the top floor with a new pressure of 2.78 atm and new diameter of 2.5 cm in diameter. Find the new water speed in the second part of the pipe and the initial diameter of the pipe
