Question 1.
Define Bernoulli's principle in your own words.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between speed and pressure.
Question 2.
What does a venturimeter do?
Show hintHide hint
Consider the changes in diameter of the pipe.
3Question 3.
What principle relates pressure loss to increased fluid speed?
- Pascal's Principle
- Bernoulli’s Equation
- Continuity Equation
Show hintHide hint
Remember how Bernoulli's equation connects speed and pressure.
4Question 4.
True or False: A venturimeter can only measure incompressible fluid flow.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about the assumptions of fluid density in the venturi effect.
Question 5.
Calculate the velocity of a fluid exiting through a circular orifice given a pressure difference of 5.0 kPa. Assume atmospheric pressure and a standard fluid density.
Show hintHide hint
Rearrange the equation to isolate v.
Question 6.
Design a system where you need to determine flow rate through a venturimeter linked to a tank at a specific height. Use Bernoulli's principle and fluid height differences to derive the equations.
Show hintHide hint
Consider height differences affecting pressure as you apply Bernoulli’s equation.
