Download Solution PDFVenturi meter is an application of Bernoulli’s equation. Its basic principle also depends on the Bernoulli equation, which is ____________.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFVenturi meter:
- It is a device in which pressure energy is converted into kinetic energy and is used to measure the rate of flow through a pipe.
- The venturi meter basically works on the principle of Bernoulli’s equation.
- It consists of a converging portion, throat, and diverging portion.
- When the fluid reaches the converging part then according to the continuity equation when the cross-sectional area decreases then the velocity of the flowing fluid increases.
- Bernoulli’s equation says that when the velocity of the flowing fluid increases the pressure of the flowing fluid decreases.
- Hence, the venturi meter has the lowest pressure drop for a given range of flow.
