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.

The Venturi effect is the scattering of light by particles in a mixture?

Don't think so - all my references show it's to do with air pressure in constricted flow. Check you question. You are correct. The Venturi effect has nothing to do with light. It is the ability to create positive and negative pressures with various tubes. Siphons work on a venturi principle for example.


Why the divergent part of venturimeter is longer than convergent part?

Actually when the flow emerges from the throat area of venturi to enter into the diverging section, their is a negative pressure gradient i.e, in layman terms fluid is trying to flow from low pressure region to high pressure region according to Bernoulli equation. In this adverse pressure gradient, there is boundary layer separation, in simple terms, the fluid leaves the surface of the wall. Due to this there can be energy loss or the fluid can't recover the pressure fully leading to head loss. So if divergent section is long that means more gradual diverging section, due to which the adverse pressure gradient is less so less chance of boundary separation and hence less loss. Also large diverging section will ensure proper development of flow, i.e. fluid sticking to the wall back after separation.


What causes a plant cell to wilt when it is not full?

When a plant cell is not full, it wilts due to the loss of turgor pressure. Turgor pressure is the pressure exerted on the cell wall by the fluid inside the cell. Without enough water to maintain this pressure, the cell loses its rigidity and wilts.

What are some examples of the Venturi effect and how does it demonstrate the principle of fluid dynamics?

The Venturi effect is demonstrated in various everyday examples, such as in carburetors, where a narrow section in the pipe causes a decrease in pressure and an increase in fluid speed. This principle shows how fluid dynamics work by illustrating that as the fluid speed increases, the pressure decreases, and vice versa.


Where do a venturi go in a jet pump?

In a jet pump, the venturi is situated within the pump's body, specifically in the converging section of the nozzle. As fluid enters the venturi, it experiences a reduction in cross-sectional area, which causes an increase in velocity and a corresponding decrease in pressure. This lower pressure creates a suction effect that draws in additional fluid, mixing it with the high-velocity jet produced by the pump. The combined flow is then expelled through the diverging section, converting the kinetic energy back into pressure.


Why head loss of venturi higher than orifice?

The head loss in a venturi is higher than in an orifice because the venturi has a gradual contraction and expansion of the flow, which generates less turbulence and reduces energy recovery compared to the sharp edge of an orifice. Additionally, the venturi has a longer flow path, leading to greater friction losses.


What are the possible causes of a sudden loss of water pressure in a house with a well?

Possible causes of a sudden loss of water pressure in a house with a well include a malfunctioning pressure tank, a clogged filter or pipe, a leak in the system, or a failing well pump.


How water in brake fluid causes a loss of braking force?

The water will boil when the fluid gets hot. Steam in the fluid will causes a loss of hydraulic pressure.


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 a carburetor venturi?

A venturi is also called a "jet pump", an "injector", or an "eductor". As a fluid velocity is increased, its pressure decreases. A venturi is sued to increase fluid velocity, to obtain the lower pressures necessary to draw in some other fluid. Commonly used to drain water beds using flow from a sink, to add chemicals to a water stream, and to add gasoline to an air stream (in older engines).
