Question 1.
What is the main purpose of a venturimeter?
Show hintHide hint
Think about a device that measures speed or quantity.
Question 2.
Define discharge coefficient in the context of a venturimeter.
Show hintHide hint
It compares real measurements to ideal calculations.
3Question 3.
What is the main function of a venturimeter?
- To pressurize gases
- To measure fluid flow rate
- To heat fluids
Show hintHide hint
Think about how we measure how much liquid moves through a pipe.
4Question 4.
True or False: Bernoulli's equation can be applied to compressible fluids.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider the primary assumption of the equation.
Question 5.
Given a venturimeter with diameter A1 = 15 cm and A2 = 7.5 cm, calculate the flow rates if pressure differences read 2.5 m of water.
Show hintHide hint
Remember to apply the equations consistently and check unit conversions.
Question 6.
A venturimeter indicates a discharge coefficient of C_d = 0.95 with a theoretical flow rate of 50 L/s. What is the actual flow rate?
Show hintHide hint
Rearrange the equation appropriately to isolate Q_actual.
