Discussion:
Venturimeter is a devise used to measure the discharge through pipe. The
principal of this meter is by reducing the cross section area of flow passes, pressure
difference is created and measurement of pressure difference enables the
determination of the discharge through pipe.
Qact = Cv * Qt
Where,
Cv = discharge coefficient of venturimeter which is the ratio of actual flow rate and
theoretical flow rate
The discharge coefficient is also dependent upon the diameter angle and
length of conical shape, location of pressure taps and the Reynolds number.
For a given set up the first 3 parameters are fixed so in the experiment we
observe the behavior of discharge coefficient with change in Reynolds number.
According to theoretical explication discharge coefficient remains constant for
higher Reynolds number.
Precautions:
Ensure that there is no air in manometer if there are some air bubbles are
present than using air release valve slowly release the air in manometer.
After release the air close the air valves again.
Never close the delivery line and by pass line simultaneously.
