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.


Fluid mechanics in venturi meter?

Venturi Meter is a device used for measuring the flow of the fluid.


What does Self cleaning air filter in gas turbine mean?

the induction of gas is forcedthrough a venturi design, causing higher tempuratures. Increasing combustion rate. Causing high efficiency.


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 a venturi draft regulator?

A Venturi draft regulator is another device to control the overfire pressure in the fire box of a furnace or boiler.The standard draft regulator such as the Fields control uses the principal that hot gases are lighter than cold and therefor tend to rise.The Venturi Draft Regulator invented by Lionel Scott telephone #9o2-667-4133. This device uses the Bernoulli principal which the carburetor uses. When the hot gases move through the venturi tee where the Draft control door is located it causes a drop in pressure which causes the door to open .This is where it is hard to understand,to obtain the proper over fire pressure the weight on the door would have to be heavier than what it would be on the standard set up such as the Field control.The benefit of this is that when the fire is off the flue pressure has to be higher than the set over fire pressure before the regulator door will open,therefore less room air is exhausted up the flue.Also when the fire is on less room air is pulled into the gases and therefor the temperature of the gases is higher entering the flue.Thus more heat can be put into the home, the result is the A.F.U.E. is higher.

Why the divergent section of a venturimeter is longer than the convergent section?

The divergent section of a venturi meter is longer than the convergent section to gradually decrease the fluid velocity and increase the pressure after the throat, which helps in recovering some of the kinetic energy as pressure energy, reducing energy losses and ensuring accurate flow rate measurement. This design also helps to minimize turbulence and pressure drop in the system.


What is flow in venturimeter?

Flow in a venturi meter refers to the rate at which a fluid passes through the device. The flow of fluid is measured by the pressure difference created between the converging and diverging sections of the venturi meter. This pressure difference is directly related to the flow rate of the fluid passing through the venturi meter.


What is the principle on venturimer works?

A Venturi meter works based on the principle of Bernoulli's equation, which states that an increase in fluid velocity results in a decrease in pressure. The Venturi meter is a device that measures the flow rate of a fluid by creating a pressure difference between two points in a pipe, allowing for flow rate calculations based on this pressure difference.


What causes pressure loss for venturi?

Pressure loss in a venturi is typically caused by friction between the fluid flow and the venturi walls, as well as disruption and mixing of the fluid stream. This pressure loss is necessary for the venturi to create a pressure differential, which allows for measurement or control of fluid flow rate.

What is the difference between high velocity and medium velocity water spray system in fire fighting?

The sprinkler head design. High velocity heads have longer nozzles with a venturi tube (a type of curved nozzle) which increases the velocity of the water spray. Medium velocity heads are shorter and do not use a venturi.
