    Venturi tubes allow flow rates through pipes to be calculated by measuring pressure differences created by a contraction in the pipe. This pressure difference is related to flow velocity by Bernoulli's equation, and the velocity can then be converted to a flow rate. Venturi tubes have advantages like being less sensitive to erosion or upstream disturbances than other flow measurement methods. Real-life applications of Venturi tubes include measuring air speed around planes, fuel and air flow in car engines, blood flow in vessels, and chemical flow rates through pipes.

    VENTURI TUBE

    MECHANISM EQUATION
    Venturi tube allows flow rates
    through pipes to be calculated by Bernoulli's Equation
    measuring the difference in
    pressure created by a contraction
    in a pipe. Knowing the pipe
    diameter, this velocity can be
    converted into a flow rate. Venturi
    Meters work based on the principles
    found in Bernoulli's equation.

    ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES
    1) Less sensitive to erosion 1) Highly cost
    due to smooth design of 2) Not useful for pipe <
    venturi tube 76.2mm
    2) More suitable for use
    for dirty gas or liquid
    3)Less sensitive to
    upstream disturbance

    REAL LIFE APPLICATION


    Aviation
    To measure the speed of the air around the plane.
    Automotive
    To measure the fuel and air distribution in carburettor
    Medical
    To measure the Volume flow of blood through vessels.
    Chemical
    To measure the Flow rate of chemical through pipes
