Flow rate

In this experiment, the measuring technique and characteristics are utilized to measure
the drop in pressure between point A, B, and C. From the experiment an electric pump is used to
send water through the venturi meter. There is point A, B, and C where the samples are taken.
The samples are plumbed to pressure transducers that are wired to a circuit board. The particular
experiment focused on measuring flow rate utilizing venturi meter. There is a display of
pressures across A and C as well as A, and B on the LED. The particular experiment uses venturi
meter to measure the flow of water. A venturi meter is a device that is utilized to measure the
flow rate in a tube. Fluid moving in a tube accelerates in the direction of the tapering contraction
with the rise of velocity in the throat. The decrease in pressure follows it, and the flow rate
determines the magnitude.

Various questions are utilized so as to determine what happens when the mechanical
energy between points A, B, and C is reduced. From the results, it is apparent that if there is no
loss of friction the energy balance decreases. A mechanical energy balance equation is utilized
in the experiment. Mainly, Bernoulli’s equation is an ideal equation that only works on
frictionless (zero viscosity) flowing liquids. The aim of the experiment is to help in
understanding the Bernoulli’s equation and its application in flow analysis utilizing Venturi
meter. The results of the experiment support the assumption of the use of Bernoulli’s equation.
The results of the experiment show that the flow rate value is near the actual flow rate.
