The diameters of a pipe at sections 1 and 2 are 10 cm and 15 cm, respectively. Find the discharge through the pipe, if the velocity of water flowing through the pipe at section 1is 5 m/sec. Also determine the velocity at section 2.
What are the assumptions made in the derivation of Bernoulli's equation?
Define venturimeter.
A horizontal venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 30 cm and 15 cm, respectively, 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. Determine the rate of flow.
Briefly describe the classification of orifice.
The head of water over the centre of an orifice of diameter 20 mm is 1 m. The actual discharge through the orifice is 0·85 litres/sec. Find the coefficient of discharge.
