Problem 5:
A 300 mm x 150 mm venturimeter is provided in a vertical pipeline carrying oil of specific gravity 0.9, flowing upward. The
difference in elevation of the throat section and entrance section of the venturimeter is 300 mm. The differential U – tube
manometer shows a gauge deflection of 250 mm.
Calculate

Given that flow rate of the water =120 litres/sec, calculate the magnitude and direction of the deflection h of the differential mercury manometer. Neglect all losses in the pipe.
a horizontal venturimeter with inlet and throat diameters 160 mm and 60 mm respectively is used to measure the flow of an oil of specific gravity 0.8. If the discharge of the oil is 0.05 m3/s, find the deflection of oil mercury gauge. take venturimeter constant = 1
