What is bend meter in fluid mechanics?
Bend meter is a type of pipe which are bend may be sharply or 90 degree . In fluid mechanics we calculate the losses inside the pipe .in which losses are more.
Why is coefficient of discharge of venturi meter is more than coefficient of discharge of orifice meter?
In Venturi meter losses are less so coefficient of discharge is higher whereas in orifice meter due to no convergent and divergent cones there are more losses and hence its coefficient of discharge is less.In venturi meter losses are low due to steamline shape of the diffuser and the pressure gradient is not abrupt as in case of orifice meter.
What is the difference between convergent divergent nozzle and venturi tube?
In case of venturi meter, at the diverging section mach number is less than 1. however in diverging section of a nozzle mach number is greater than 1.
Applications of venturimeter?
1. It is used for flow measerment with minimum head loss. 2. It is used in industries for flow measerment of chemicals. 3. it is also used in the airoplane for measurment of speed of plane.
What is the application of mechanics?
what is application and define the applications of mechanics
What is venturi meter?
Measuring flow of a fluid based on Bernoulli's principle.
What is bend meter in fluid mechanics?

Tell me the main uses of venturi meter?
The discharge coefficient is near unity and Non-recoverable net head loss is very small.

What is the order of efficiency of venturi meter orifice meter and rotoameter?
The orifice plate can easily be changed to accomodate widely different flow rates, whereas the throat diameter of a venturi is fixed, so that its range of flow rates is circumscribed by the practical limits of Dp.The orifice meter has a large permanent loss of pressure because of the presence of eddies on the downstream side of the orifice-plate; the shape of the venturi meter prevents the formation OS these eddies and greatly reduces the permanent loss.The orifice is cheap and easy to install. The venturi meter is expensive, as it must be carefully proportioned and fabricated. A home made orifice is often entirely satisfactory, whereas a venturi meter is practically always purchased from an instrument dealer.On the other hand, the head lost in the orifice for the same conditions as in the venturi is many times greater. The power lost is proportionally greater, and, when an orifice is inserted in a line carrying fluid continuously over long periods of time, the cost of the power may be out of all proportion to the saving in first cost. Orifices are therefore best used for testing purposes or other cases where the power lost is not a factor, as in steam lines.However, in spite of considerations of power loss, orifices are widely used, partly because of their greater flexibility, because installing a new orifice plate with a different opening is a simpler matter. The venturi meter can not be so altered. Venturi meters are used only for permanent installations.It should be noted that for a given pipe diameter and a given diameter of orifice opening or venturi throat, the reading of the venturi meter for a given velocity is to the reading of the orifice as (0.61/0.98)2, or 1:2.58.(i.e. orifice meter will show higher manometer reading for a given velocity than venturi meter).
Why is coefficient of discharge of venturi meter is more than coefficient of discharge of orifice meter?
In Venturi meter losses are less so coefficient of discharge is higher whereas in orifice meter due to no convergent and divergent cones there are more losses and hence its coefficient of discharge is less.In venturi meter losses are low due to steamline shape of the diffuser and the pressure gradient is not abrupt as in case of orifice meter.
When was Journal of Fluid Mechanics created?
Journal of Fluid Mechanics was created in 1956.

Victor L. Streeter has written: 'Handbook of fluid dynamics' -- subject(s): Fluid dynamics 'Fluid dynamics' -- subject(s): Fluid dynamics 'Fluid Dynamics (Aeronautics Science Publications)' 'Fluid mechanics' -- subject(s): Fluid mechanics 'Fluid mechanics' -- subject(s): Fluid mechanics
When is the speed of a fluid maximum in a venturi meter?
from the continuity equation A1v1 = A2v2 according to the continuity equation as the area decreases the velocity of the flow of the liquid increases and hence maximum velocity can be obtained at its throat
Working principles advantages disadvantages and limitation of venturi scrubber?
A Venturi scrubber is a wet scrubber that essentially washes gases or particulates out of a gas stream. To accomplish this removal it is necessary to mix the "dirty" gas with fine droplets of the fluid used to remove them. A Venturi accomplishes this by passing the washing fluid through a tapered neck in the Venturi nozzle introducing the gas and liquid into the system . The high speed gas breaks the fluid into tiny droplets and mixes them with itself. The fluid picks up the impurities and coalesces into larger droplets which either fall out of the gas or are collected on impingement plates or packing. The purified gas leaves the system, the dirty fluid is sent for disposal or purified for reuse.
What is fliud mechanics?
Fluid mechanics refer to the branch of physics that deals with fluid and other forces on them. This is sub-divided into fluid statics and fluid kinematics.
1 What important property of fluids necessitated the development of fluid mechanics as an area of science separate from standard mechanics?
Fluid's lack of rigidity contributed to scientist's creation of the area of fluid mechanics.
