Question

A necked-down section in a pipe flow, called a venturi, develops a low throat pressure which can aspirate fluid upward from a reservoir, as in Fig. P3.161. Using Bernoulli's equation with no losses, derive an expression for the velocity $V_{1}$ which is just sufficient to bring reservoir fluid into the throat.

Step 1

If sections 1 and 2 are at the same elevation (z1 = z2) this reduces to p1 + (1/2) rho V1^2 = p2 + (1/2) rho V2^2. Show more…
