    Venturimeter: Experiment No.4

    Uploaded by

    madhavi likhar
    This document provides instructions for an experiment to determine the coefficient of discharge of a given venturimeter. The experiment involves measuring the actual discharge using a collecting tank and stopwatch, calculating the theoretical discharge using venturimeter dimensions and pressure readings, and determining the coefficient of discharge as the ratio of actual to theoretical discharge. Key steps include taking manometer readings of pressure differences at various pipe openings, measuring the time for a set volume rise in the collecting tank, and calculating and averaging the coefficient of discharge. Proper precautions are noted such as maintaining constant flow and avoiding parallax errors in readings.

    Name of faculty in charge: Dr. Raghvendra Sahu

    Name of Technical Assistant: Mr. Sanjeev Jha


    Aim : Determination of the Coefficient of Discharge of Given
    Venturimeter
    Apparatus Required:
    1.Venturimeter
    2.Stop watch
    3.Collecting tank
    4.Differential U-tube
    5.Manometer
    6.Scale

    Formula used:-

    1) Actual Discharge:

    Q act = A x h / t (m3 / s)
    A = Area of collecting tank in m2 (A= 0.1m2)
    h = Height of collected water in tank = 10 cm
    t = Time taken for h cm rise of water in Sec.

    2) Theoretical Discharge:

    𝒂𝟏 × 𝒂𝟐 × √𝟐𝒈𝑯
    (𝒎𝟑 /𝒔)
    √𝒂𝟐𝟏 − 𝒂𝟐𝟐
    a1 = Area of inlet pipe
    1
    in m2 (d1 = 25 mm)
    2
    a2 = Area of the throat in m (d2 = 12.5 mm)

    g = gravitational acceleration in m /s2


    H = Head difference in manometer in m = (H1 ~ H2) (Sm / S1- 1)
    Where:

    H1 = Manometric head in first limb

    H2 = Manometric head in second limb


    Sm = Specific gravity of Manometric liquid (i.e) Liquid mercury
    Hg 13.6
    Sl = Specific gravity of flowing liquid water = 1

    Coefficent of discharge:
    Co- efficient of discharge = Q act / Qth (no units)

    Theory:
    The principle of venturimeter is that when a fluid flows through the
    venturimeter, it accelerates in the convergent section and decelerates
    in the divergent section, resulting in a drop in the static pressure
    followed by a pressure recovery in the flow direction. By measuring
    the difference in the pressures at an axial station upstream of the
    convergent section and at the throat, the volumetric flow rate can be
    estimated. Venturimeter is a device used for measuring the rate of
    fluid flowing through a pipe. The consist of three part in short
    1. Converging area part
    2. Throat
    3. Diverging part

    Procedure:
    1.The pipe is selected for doing experiments
    2.The motor is switched on, as a result water will flow
    3.According to the flow, the mercury level fluctuates in the U-tube
    manometer
    4.The reading of H1 and H2 are noted
    5.The time taken for 10 cm rise of water in the collecting tank is noted
    6.The experiment is repeated for various flows in the same pipe
    7.The co-efficient of discharge is calculated

    Precautions:-

    1) Keep the other valve closed while taking reading through one pipe.
    2) The initial error in the manometer should be subtracted final
    reading.
    3) The parallax error should be avoided.
    4) Maintain a constant discharge for each reading.
    5) The parallax error should be avoided while taking reading the
    manometer
