MoF 3 Tutorial

This document contains problems related to horizontal venturimeters. It provides three examples of problems involving venturimeters measuring flow of oil or water where variables like dimensions, specific gravities, manometer readings, and time of collection are given to calculate discharge, discharge coefficient, or pressure readings. The goal is to use principles of venturimeter flow measurement to solve practical problems involving horizontal pipe flow.

TUTORIAL 8

Problems related to horizontal venturimeter

1. A 30 cm × 15 cm venturimeter is installed in a horizontal pipe carrying oil of specific


gravity 0.85. If the mercury differential manometer shows a reading of 35 cm, find
the discharge through the pipe. Take co-efficient of discharge of venturimeter as
0.98.
2. A venturimeter with 200 mm at inlet and 100 mm throat is laid with axis horizontal,
and is used for measuring the flow of oil of specific gravity 0.8. The difference of
levels in the U-tube differential manometer reads 180 mm of mercury and 11520 kg
of oil is collected in 4 minutes. Calculate the discharge co-efficient of the
venturimeter.
3. A horizontal venturimeter with inlet diameter 20 cm and throat diameter 10 cm is
used to measure the flow of oil of specific gravity 0.8. The discharge of oil through
the venturimeter is 60 litres/s. Find the reading of the oil-mercury differential
manometer. Take Cd=0.98
TUTORIAL 9
Problems related to horizontal venturimeter

1. A venturimeter is installed in a 300 mm diameter horizontal pipe line. The throat


diameter is 1/3 of pipe diameter. Water flows through the installation. The pressure in
the pipe line is 13.8 N/cm2 (gauge) and vacuum in the throat is 37.5 cm of mercury.
Determine the rate of flow of water in the pipeline. Take Cd = 0.98 .
2. An oil of relative density 0.90 flows through a vertical pipe of diameter 20 cm. The flow
is measured by a 20 cm × 10 cm venturimeter. The throat is 30 cm above the inlet
section. A differential U-tube manometer containing mercury is connected to the throat
and the inlet. Co-efficient of discharge of the meter is 0.99. What is (a) the flow for a
manometer reading of 9 cm and the corresponding pressure difference between the inlet
and throat.
3. A pipe carrying water has a 30 cm × 15 cm venturimeter which is positioned inclined at
30° to the horizontal. The flow is upwards. The converging cone is 45 cm in length and
the co-efficient of discharge of the meter is 0.98. A differential U-tube manometer with
mercury as indicating fluid is connected to the inlet and to the throat and shows a
differential column height of 30 cm. (i) Calculate the discharge in the pipe. (ii) If the
pressure at inlet section is 50 kPa, determine the pressure at the throat. (iii) Find the head
loss in the converging section of the venturimeter.
