(c) Fuel oil, with a density of 870 kg m-, is pumped through a horizontal pipe, as shown in Figure Q2.2. The pipe is 100 mm in diameter and contains an orifice plate with a throat diameter of 40 mm. The pressure drop across the orifice is measured on a U-tube manometer, containing mercury with a specific gravity 13.6. The difference in levels of the columns is measured as 45 mm. The coefficient of discharge for the orifice plate Ca...
Oil (s = 0.85) is flowing through a pipe from left to right with a mercury (s = 13.6) manometer attached. The diameter of the pipe at the manometer inlet is 1.0 ft and the diameter of the pipe at the manometer outlet is 0.5 ft. The manometer reads 6 inches. What is the pressure drop across the manometer in psi?

2) the pressure difference between the entrance section and
throat section....
Ethanol at 20C flows at a velocity of 6 m/s through a mesh
screen located in a pipe, as shown below. A mercury U-tube
manometer (SG = 13.6) is used to measure the pressure drop across
the screen. The indicated deflection is 15 cm. Determine the loss
coefficient for the screen.
