Fluid Mechanics

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 (C_d) 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. a) Calculate the discharge in the pipe. b) If the pressure in the inlet section is 50 kPa, determine the pressure at the throat. c) Find the head loss in the converging section of the venturimeter.
