1.

A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter of 30cm and 15cm diameter for throat is used to measure

the flow of water. The reading of differential manometer connected to the inlet and the throat is 20 cm

of mercury (s=13.6). Determine the rate of flow. Take Cd=0.98

Q=
0.1258m3/s

2. An oil of s=0.8 is flowing through a venturimeter having inlet diameter of 20cm and throat diameter

of 10cm. The oil-mercury differential manometer shows a reading of 25cm. Calculate the discharge

of oil through the horizontal venturimeter. Use sHg=13.6 and Cd=0.98.

V2 = 9.1494m/s
Q = 0.0704m3/s
3. In a vertical pipe conveying oil of s=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 two limbs of the U-tube.

Q = 0.0199m3/s
x = 0.0469m or 4.69cm
4. Find the discharge of water flowing through a pipe 30cm diameter placed in an inclined position where

a venturimeter is inserted, having a throat diameter of 15cm. The difference of pressure between the main

and throat is measured by a liquid of s=0.6 in an inverted U-tube which gives a reading of 30cm. The loss

of head between the main and throat is 0.2 times the kinetic head of the pipe.

Q = 0.028m3/s

5. An orifice meter with orifice diameter of 10cm is inserted in a pipe of 20cm diameter. The pressure

gauges fitted upstream and downstream of the orifice meter gives readings of 19.62 N/cm2 and 9.81 N/cm2

respectively. Coefficient of discharge for the orifice is 0.6. Find the discharge of water through the pipe.

Q = 0.068 m3/s
6. A pitot-static tube placed in the center of a 300mm pipe line has one orifice pointing upstream and other

perpendicular to it. The mean velocity in the pipe is 0.8 of the central velocity. Find the discharge through

the pipe if the pressure difference between the two orifices is 60mm of water. Take the coefficient of

pitot-tube as Cv=0.98.

Q = 0.06 m3/s
7. Find the velocity of the flow of an oil through a pipe, when the difference of mercury level in a differential

U-tube manometer connected to the two tappings of the pitot-tube is 100mm. Take coefficient of pitot-

tube 0.98 and soil = 0.8.

V = 5.49 m/s
