Question
Oil (p = 1100 kg/m² , µ = 5.6 X 10-4 kg/m·s) flows through a 4.3 cm diameter pipe. The
flow rate needs to be measured with a 3 cm diameter orifice meter that is equipped with a mercury
(p = x kg/m?) manometer across the orifice plate. If the differential height is 11 cm, calculate
the oil flow rate through the pipe and the average flow velocity. Explain any assumptions that
you use. Use
x=19060
Hint: Start by assuming a value for Co and find the flow rate, average velocity and Re. Check if
assumed value for Co was correct. If not, apply a second iteration by choosing a new value for Co.
