A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter 20 cm and throat diameter


10 cm is used to measure the flow of water. The pressure at inlet is 17.658
N/cm2and the vacuum pressure at the throat is 30cm of mercury. Find the
discharge of water through venturimeter. Take
Cd=0.98

(b) In a vertical pipe conveying oil of specific gravity 0.8, two pressure
gauges have been installed at A and B where the diameters are 16cm and

8cm respectively. A is 2 meters above B. The pressure gauge readings


have shown that the pressure at B is greater than at A by 0.981N/cm2.
Neglecting all losses, calculate the flow rate. If the gauges at A and B are
replaced by tubes filled with the same liquid and connected to a U-tube
containing mercury, calculate the difference of level of mercury in the tow
limbs of the U-tube.
