A venturimeter of 400 mm × 200 mm is provided in a vertical pipeline carrying oil of specific gravity 0.82, flow being upward. The difference in elevation of the throat section and entrance section of the venturimeter is 300 mm. The differential U-tube mercury manometer shows a gauge deflection of 300 mm. Calculate: (i) The discharge of oil, and (ii) The pressure difference between the entrance section and the throat section. Take the coefficient of meter as 0.98 and specific gravity of mercury as 13.6

the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter of the pipe = 100mm = 0.1m

Contraction ratio = 0.5

thus, diameter at the throat of venturimeter = 0.5×0.1m = 0.05m

The formula for discharge through a venturimeter is given as:

Where,

is the coefficient of discharge = 0.97 (given)

A₁ = Area of the pipe

A₁ =  

A₂ = Area at the throat

A₂ =  

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

Now,

The gauge pressure at throat = Absolute pressure - The atmospheric pressure

⇒The gauge pressure at throat = 2 - 10.3 = -8.3 m (Atmosphric pressure = 10.3 m of water)

Thus, the pressure difference at the throat and the pipe = 3- (-8.3) = 11.3m

Substituting the values in the discharge formula we get

or

or

Q = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s

Hence, the rate of flow = 29.28 ×10⁻³ m³/s or 0.029 m³/s
