hello claims myself Arisa Maji and today

we will discuss about vena contracta

actually been a contactor is the topic

of fluid mechanics it's very important

topic actually what is vena contracta

vena contracta is nothing else brain a

contactor is the point of orifice where

the area is a minimum and the kinetic

energy is maximum okay so we

theoretically we can say that vena

contracta is the point in a fluid stream

where the diameter of the stream is at

the least and the fluid velocity is

maximum is that maximum so as in the

case of stream swing out of a nozzle it

is a place where the cross section area

is minimum and contract the maximum

contraction takes place at a 6 n okay it

means if we consider that it's a venturi

meter and it's a venturi meter and the

weight goes through this entry meter

from here to here and when the this

point of this B meter the cross-section

is minimum and here we can say that it's

looks like a convergent divergent nozzle

includes Inter's in this point it's

behaved likes converging nozzle and when

fluids goes out from this area its

behave like diverging nozzle okay and

also in this point the contraction is a


maximum because of that the

cross-section area is minimum and so

it's behaved like a nozzle and the

kinetic energy object of the fluid is

increased because the help of pressure

energy of fluid its kinetic energy will

be increased okay

it's vena contract or nothing else so
