I haven't calculated it but isn't that correct?
The discussion centers around calculating the theoretical flow rate in a venturi meter, specifically addressing confusion regarding the diameters of the pipes involved. The diameter at point 1 is confirmed to be 0.03 m, while the throat diameter at point 2 is 0.012 m. Participants clarify the use of the area ratio A1/A2 in the flow rate formula and the importance of understanding pressure differences (P1-P2) using hydrostatic principles, particularly in relation to a U-tube manometer. The final flow rate is noted as 0.064 L/s, which is the actual flow rate after accounting for the coefficient of discharge.

freshbox said:No answer is 0.064L/s![]()
freshbox said:The answer from post #1 0.064 L/s is written by my lecturer.
freshbox said:P1-9810(0.045)=Px
P2-9810(0.027)=Py
P1-P2=176.58
freshbox said:I thought the question is asking to find the theoretical flow rate so why we have to multiply Cd?
Explaining things is not my strong point, I thought you had some problem in arithmetic but I did not know that you haven't yet learned about calculating pressure at a depth. I would suggest you to ask your lecturer or wait for someone else to join.And can you explain to me how you get P1-P2 again?
