Homework Statement


Flow rate in Venturi meter of Petrol (SG 0.85).

Diam1 - 0.2m Diam2 - 0.15m

Height Diff in manometer of Mercury (SG 13.6) 0.012m, so Δp= 13600 x 9.81 x 0.012 = 1601?

Cd = 0.98

Homework Equations


Bernoulli,
p/ρg + U2/2g + Z

U=Q/A


The Attempt at a Solution



Inserting and equating the values into bernoulli i ended up with,

0.192 = Q22/0.093 - Q12/0.058

Not sure if this i right because i can't seem to go anywhere from here.

THE GIVEN ANSWER IS 39.3 l/s

Thanks a lot for any help.

Q1 equals Q2. How are the numbers 0.093 and 0.058 computed?
 
They are calculated from 2g x A after subbing u for Q/A.
