Points for acceleration should be taken at the centerline of /0186= to enter the Venturi tube through the pressure tap. When mercury is about to determine the limiting volume flow rate, it will no longer be at the same elevation (why?). The indicated direction is the two mercury columns when steady flow is established along the pressure tap of the "throat" section. The mercury columns are level, which are 300 mm below the pressure tap. When there is no flow through the tube, the manometer is attached to a Venturi section. 2./5p/sA mercury SG=13.54 U-tube w-SL='a
