Explanation :

venturimeter

  • A venturimeter is a device that measures the rate of flow of fluid through a pipe.
  • The venturi meter's operation is based on Bernoulli's equation.
  • The flow equation for a venturi metre is derived from three equations: ​​​
                    Bernoulli's equation,

                    conservation of energy equation.

                    continuity equation.​

  • Rate of discharge is    \(Q_{Act}=\frac{C_{d}A_{1}A_{2}\sqrt{2gh}}{\sqrt{A_{1}^{2}-A_{2}^{2}}}\) Here,  Q  is the theoretical discharge,  A 1  is the area at the convergent section, A 2 is the area at divergent section,  g is the acceleration due to gravity , h  is the height.
