Flow Measurement

A Prandtl tube (Pitot-static tube with $$C=1$$) is used to measure the velocity of water. The differential manometer reading is $$10$$ mm of liquid column with a relative density of $$10.$$ Assuming $$g = 9.8\,\,m/{s^2},...

Water $$\left( {\rho = 1000kg/{m^3}} \right)$$ flows through a venturimeter with inlet diameter $$80$$ $$mm$$ and throat diameter $$40$$ $$mm.$$ The inlet and throat gauge pressures are measured to be $$400$$ $$kPa$$ and...

A venturimeter of $$20$$ $$mm$$ throat diameter is used to measure the velocity of water in a horizontal pipe of $$40$$ $$mm$$ diameter. If the pressure difference between the pipe and throat sections is found to be $$30...

When a Pitot-static tube is immersed in a water stream (density $${\rho _w}$$), the differential head measured by a mercury (density $${\rho _m}$$ manometer is $${h_m}.$$ What is the velocity of the water stream?
