Question

An orifice plate (orifice diameter of 124 mm) is set in a horizontal pipe line (inside diameter of 150 mm), which carries oil of density 877 kg m?³. If a water manometer is coupled across the orifice plate, what is the volumetric flow rate, Q (L/sec) at which oil can be metered through the pipeline if the difference in water levels in the manometer must not exceed 750 mm. Assume the discharge coefficient (Cv) is 0.6.

Step 1

124 m - Pipe diameter (\(D\)) = 150 mm = 0.15 m - Density of oil (\(\rho_{\text{oil}}\)) = 877 kg/m³ - Manometer reading (\(h\)) = 750 mm = 0.75 m - Discharge coefficient (\(C_v\)) = 0.6 - Density of water (\(\rho_{\text{water}}\)) = 1000 kg/m³ (standard value) Show more…
