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.

problem:- A circular tank of diameter 4m contains water up to a height to 5m. Orifice of diameter 0.5m at the bottom. Find the time taken by water:- 1. To fall from 5m to 2m 2. For completely emptying to tank take cd=0.6

Determine the height of a rectangular weir of length 6m to be built across a rectangular channel. Maximum depth of water on the upstream side of the weir is 1.8 and discharge is 2000 l/sec . Take Cd = 0.6 and neglect end contractions.
