Question

An orifice meter with orifice diameter 20cm is inserted into a pipe of diameter 40cm. The pressure difference measured by mercury oil differential manometer on the two sides of orifice meter gives a reading of 60cm of mercury. Find the rate of flow of oil if density of oil is 800 kg/m3 and coefficient of discharge is 0.7.

Step 1

2 m - Pipe diameter (\(D\)) = 40 cm = 0.4 m - Pressure difference (\(\Delta h\)) = 60 cm of mercury = 0.6 m of mercury - Density of oil (\(\rho_{\text{oil}}\)) = 800 kg/m\(^3\) - Coefficient of discharge (\(C_d\)) = 0.7 - Density of mercury (\(\rho_{\text{Hg}}\)) = Show more…
