what is venturi flume - Campare venture meter and orifice meter.


Campare venture meter and orifice meter.

Venture meter:-

A venturi meter is a tool used to measure the flow rate of a pipe fluid.

It cosist of three parts-

(1). A short converging part

(2). Throat

(3). Diverging part

It is based on the principle of bernaulli’s equation.

Orifice meter:-

It is an instrument used to measure the fluid flow rate through a pipe.
It's cheaper than a venture meter device. It also operates in the same way as the venture meter principle.




Venture flume

A venture flume is a critical flow, open flume with a restricted flow, resulting in a fall in the line of hydraulic grade, producing a critical depth.

It is used in very high flow rates flow measurements, generally provided in millions of cubic units.

Write the names of different types of flow

Write the names of different types of flow and explain them. The fluid flow is classified as:- 1.        Steady and unsteady flow 2.        Uniform and non-uniform flow 3.        Laminar and turbulent flow 4.        Compressible and incompressible flow 5.        Rotational and irrotational flow 6.        One,two and three dimensional flow (1). Steady flow:- Study flow is defined as flow types in which fluid characteristics like velocity, pressure, density, etc. at a point do not change over time.   Unsteady flow:-  Unsteady flow is the type of flow in which the speed, pressure or density at a point changes over time. (2). Uniform flow:-  Uniform flow is defined as the type of flow in which the velocity does not change in space at any point. Non-uniform flow:- It is the flow kinds in which the velocity changes with regard to space at any stage. (3). Laminar flow:-   The laminar flow is described as the flow kinds in which
