Experiments show that the pressure drop for flow through an orifice plate of diameter $d$ mounted in a length of pipe of diameter $D$ may be expressed as $\Delta p=p_{1}-p_{2}=$ $f(\rho, \mu, \bar{V}, d, D),$ You are asked to organize some experimental data. Obtain the resulting dimensionless parameters.
6) A 3 cm orifice plate is placed within a 4 cm pipe in which methanol at 20 °C (SG 0.7884 and dynamic viscosity (μ) 0.5857 cP) is flowing through. If the flow rate passing through the pipe is 3.1 liters per second, determine the pressure difference that must be measured around the orifice plate. The discharge coefficient of the orifice can be calculated by: Cd = 0.5959 + 0.0312(Re^0.75) / (82.5 - 0.18488(Re^0.75)) Where; β is the ratio of orifice diameter to pipe diameter and Re is the Reynolds number.

The pressure drop, $\Delta p,$ along a straight pipe of diameter $D$ has been experimentally studied, and it is observed that for laminar flow of a given fluid and pipe, the pressure drop varies directly with the distance, $\ell$, between pressure taps. Assume that $\Delta p$ is a function of $D$ and $\ell$, the velocity, $V$, and the fluid viscosity, $\mu$. Use dimensional analysis to deduce how the pressure drop varies with pipe diameter.
