Name of the Experiment : To determine the coefficient of discharge ( Cd )
for Venturimeter.
Apparatus : Venturimeter fitted across a pipeline leading to a collecting tank,
Stop Watch, U-Tube manometer connected across entry and
throat sections etc.
Formula : Theoretical discharge through Venturimeter
Q th = [A1.A2(2g.H)1/2] / [A12 – A22]1/2
Actual discharge through Venturimeter
Q ac = V / t = (A.∆H) / t
Where:
A1 : Cross section area of Venturimeter at entry section.
A2 : Cross section area of Venturimeter at throat section.
H : Pressure head difference in terms of fluid flowing through
pipeline system.
V : (A.∆H) i.e. Volume of water collected in collecting tank
A : Cross section area of collecting tank.
∆H : (H2 – H1) i.e. Depth of water collected in collecting tank.
t : Time required to collect the water up to a height ∆H in the
collecting tank.
Theory :
Venturimeter is a device consisting of a short length of gradual convergence
and a long length of gradual divergence. Pressure tapping is provided at the location
before the convergence commences and another pressure tapping is provided at the throat
section of a Venturimeter. The Difference in pressure head between the two tapping is
measured by means of a U-tube manometer. On applying the continuity equation &
Bernoulli’s equation between the two sections, the following relationship is obtained in
terms of governing variables.
Q th = [A1.A2(2g.H)1/2] / [A12 – A22]1/2 -------------------------------------------------------- 1.
Where, H = H m [(ρm /ρw) – 1]
ρm & ρw be the densities of manometric liquid & fluid (water) flowing through pipeline
system.
In order to take real flow effect into account, coefficient of discharge (Cd ) must be
introduced in equation 1 then,
Q ac = Cd.A.(2g.H)1/2
Therefore, Cd = Q ac / Q th
Theoretical discharge is calculated by using equation 1. Actual discharge is calculated by
collecting water in collecting tank & noting the time for collection.
Q ac = A.(H2 – H1) / t = V / t = (A.∆H) / t
Procedure :
* Note the pipe diameter (d1) and throat diameter (d2) of Venturimeter.
* Note the density of manometric liquid i.e. mercury (ρm) and that of fluid flowing
through pipeline i.e. water (ρw ).
*

* Measure the pressure difference (Hm) across the Venturimeter by using U – tube
manometer.
*
Measure flow rate i.e. actual discharge (Qac) through Venturimeter by means of
collecting tank.
*
Calculate the theoretical discharge (Qth) through Venturimeter by using the formula.
* Decrease the flow rate by adjusting the control valve and repeat the process for at least
five times.
*

of coefficient of discharge (Cd) mean.
* Plot a graph of (Qac) on y-axis versus (Qth) on x- axis.

A : Cross section area of collecting tank.
∆H : (H2 – H1) i.e. Depth of water collected in collecting tank.
t : Time required to collect the water up to a height ∆H in the

Theory :
It works on Bernoulli’s principle and device use for measuring the rate of
fluid flowing through a pipe. It is a cheaper device as compared to venturimeter. It
consists of flat circular plate which has a circular sharp edge hole called as orifice called
as which is concentric with pipe. The orifice diameter is generally kept ½ lines the
diameter of pipe.
An Orificemeter is used to measure the discharge in a pipe. An Orificemeter in it’s
simplest form consists of a plate having a sharp edged circular hole known as an
orifice. The plate is fixed inside the pipe.
A mercury U-tube manometer is inserted to know the difference of pressure head between
the two tapping.
Orificemeter works on the same principle as that of Venturimeter i.e. by reducing the area
of flow passage a pressure difference is developed between the two section and the
measurement of pressure difference is used to find the discharge.
By applying Bernoulli’s equation between inlet of pipe & throat i.e. orifice section.
(p1 / w) + (v12 / 2g) + z1 = (p2 / w) + (v22 / 2g) + z2
When Orificemeter is connected in horizontal pipe, then z1 = z2
Therefore (p1 - p2) / w = (v22 / 2g) - (v12 / 2g)
h = (v22 / 2g) - (v12 / 2g) --------------------------------------------- 1.
Further if a1 & a2 be the cross section area of Pipe at inlet & that of jet respectively, then
by continuity equation
Q = a1v1 = a2v2
a2 = a1v1 / v2
------------------------------------------------------- a
If Cc = Coefficient of contraction = a2 / a0
Cc = Area of jet at vena contracta / Area of orifice
a2 = Cc a0
------------------------------------------------------- b
v1 = Cc v2 (a0 / a1)
From equation 1; v2 = ( 2gh + v12 )1/2 in this equation losses has not been
considered and gives theoretical velocity.
v2 = ( 2gh + v12 )1/2
If Cv= Coefficient of velocity = Actual velocity / Theorotical velocity
∴ Actual velocity of jet at vena contracta i.e. at section 2
v2 = Cv ( 2gh + [Cc v2 (a0 / a1)] 2 )1/2
v2 = Cv {(2gh )1/2 /(1- [Cc Cv (a0 / a1)] 2 )1/2 }
But Coefficient of discharge Cd = Cc Cv
By continuity equation Q = a2v2
Q = Cc a0 v2
Q = Cc Cv a0 {(2gh )1/2 /(1- [Cc Cv (a0 / a1)] 2 )1/2 }
Q = Cd a0 {(2gh )1/2 /(1- [Cd (a0 / a1)] 2 )1/2 }
If C= Constant of orificemeter, then
C = Cd {1 – (a02 / a12)}1/2 / {1 – Cd2(a02 / a12)}1/2
Q ac = C.a0(2g.h)1/2 / {1 – (a02 / a12)}1/2
Q ac = C.a1.a0(2g.h)1/2 / (a12 – a02)1/2
Procedure :
*
Note the diameter at the inlet of pipe (d1) and the diameter of an orifice (do).
* Note the density of manometric liquid i.e. mercury (ρm) and that of fluid flowing
through pipeline i.e. water (ρw).
*
Connect the U-tube manometer to the pressure toppings of orificemeter, one end at the
inlet section and the other end at the section where jet of water leaves from orifice
forming a vena contracta.
* Start the flow and adjust the control valve in pipeline to get the required discharge.
* Measure the pressure difference (Hm) between two sections of orificemeter by using U
- tube mercury manometer.
* Convert the pressure head difference in meters of fluid flowing through pipeline ( i.e.
water ) by using the equation h = Hm [(ρm / ρw) -1]
* Measure flow rate i.e. actual discharge (Qac) through Venturimeter by means
collecting the water in collecting tank for a specified period of time.
Q ac = V / t = (A.∆H) / t
* Change the flow rate by adjusting the control valve and repeat the process or at least
five times.
*
Determine the constant (C) of orificemeter and then calculate coefficient of discharge
(Cd) for each flow rate and find the mean value of coefficient of discharge (Cd) mean.

Due to sudden change of diameter, the liquid flowing from smaller pipe is not able

The classification of flow is based mainly on viscosity of a fluid

Reynolds carried out experiments to decide limiting values of Reynolds number to
quantifiably decide wheeler the flow is laminar, turbulent or transition. The flows
con
visualize by passing a streak of dye and observing its motion.
Laminar Flow : A flow is said to be laminar when the various fluid particles moves in
layer with one layer of fluid living smoothly over on adjacent layer.A
laminar flow is one
in which the fluid particles moves in layers or laminar with one
layer sliding over the
other. Therefore there is no exchange of fluid particles
from one layer to the other and
hence no transfer of later of momentum to be
adjacent layers. The particles, in the
layer having lower velocity, obstruct the fluid
particles in the layer with higher velocity.
This obstruction force is called viscous
resistance or viscosity. The laminar flow is one
in which fluid layers glide over
each another. It
has low velocity and high viscous
resistance.
Turbulent Flow : There is a continuous transfer of momentum to adjacent layers.
Fluid particles occupy different relative position at different places. It is one in
which, the particles get thoroughly mixed on (called turbulence). The turbulent
flow has higher velocity. The flow in canals, pipes and rivers is usually turbulent
flow.
Transition Flow : The transition flow has intermediate properties between the
laminar and turbulent flow. In laminar the forces should be considered to calculate the
friction loss and in the turbulent flow only the internal forces are considered
because the
effect of viscous force is negligible as compared to internal forces.
Reynolds carried
out experiments to decide limiting values of Reynolds number to quantifiably
decide
whether the flow is laminar, turbulent or transition. These limits are as below.

The flow can be visualized by passing a streak of dye and observing its motion.
In
the laminar, low velocity flow the streak line is only slightly zig – zag. In the
turbulent
flow, the dye thoroughly mixes up in the flow. Thus passing through a
glass pipe and
observing the velocity at different mixing stages of the dye is the principle
on
which
Reynolds apparatus is based.
Procedure :
* Diameter of a pipe, size of measuring tank at room temperature was noted
down.
* The tank was filled to some height by opening inlet valve and closing control
valve.
* Colour dye was filled in dye tank.
* Control valve was open slightly and also the inlet valve such a way that the
water level in the tank remains constant. This happens when in coming

Apparatus :

Formula : Total Energy =
P V2
+
+ Z = Constant
w 2. g
Where,
P / w = Pressure energy
V2 / 2g = Kinetic energy
Z = Potential energy
Theory : The Bernoulli’s theorem states that the total energy of non Viscous
in
compressible fluid in a steady state of flow, remains constant along a stream line
Daniel Bernoulli’s enunciated in 1738 that is “ In any stream flowing steadily without
friction, the total energy contained in a given mass is some at energy
contained in a
given mass is some at energy point in its path of flow.” This
statement
is
called
Bernoulli’s theorem with reference to section 1 – 1 and 2 – 2
along the length of steady
flow in the stream tube shown in fig. The total energy at
section 1 – 1 is equal to the total
energy - at section 2 – 2 as stated in Bernoulli’s theorem.
With usual notations, the expression for total energy contained in a unit wt of fluid
section 1 – 1 and 2 – 2 is given by
at
Total energy at Section 1 – 1 = P1 / W + V12 / 2g +Z1
Total energy at section 2 – 2 = P2 / W + V22 / 2g +Z2
Where,
P1 / W = pressure energy at section 1 – 1
V12 / 2g = Kinetic energy at section 1 – 1
Z1 = Potential energy at section 1 – 1
P2 / W = Pressure energy at section 2 – 2
V22 / 2g = Kinetic energy at section 2 – 2
Z2 = Potential energy at section 2 – 2
Thus applying Bernoulli’s theorem between section 1 – 1 and 2 – 2 we find
P1 / W + V12 / 2g + Z1 = P2 / W + V22 / 2g + Z2
In MKS system the pressure energy, kinetic energy and
potential energy measured in meter of fluid column per unit wt
fluid equation is modified by taking into loss of energy due
between section 1 – 1 and 2 – 2 is written as
to
P1 / W + V12 / 2g + Z1 = P2 / W + V22 / 2g + Z2 + ( ∆H )1 / 2
Where ( ∆H ) 1 / 2 represents the loss of energy between section 1 – 1 and 2 – 2
of
friction
Procedure :
* Open the measuring tank valve fully, to keep the tank empty. Close the outlet
valve.

Where :

H = Head of water over the notch.
Theory :
In hydraulics engineering, notches are commonly used to regulate
flow in rivers and other open channels. The relation between water level up stream of the
discharge at any time may
notch and the discharge over it is generally known as θ that the
be found by observing the up stream water liquid. Notches usually have sharp edges so that
the water springs clear of the plate as it
passes through the notch. It is provided in the
side walls of a tank, near top edge. These have small dimensions. Notches are use for
emptying tank or for discharge
measurement. The discharge equation depends upon the
shape and thickness of
wall. A triangular weir is on ordinary weir is having a triangular
or ‘V’ shaped opening or notch provided in its body so that water is discharged through this
opening only.
Let ‘H’ be the head above the crest of the weir. Consider a horizontally
elementary
width of strip then,
strip of thickness ‘∆h’ at a depth ‘h’ below the water surface. It ‘X’ is
X = 2 ( H +h ) tan(θ /2)
The area of strip is ( X w ∆h ) or { 2 ( H +h ) tan(θ /2) } and the technical velocity of the
water flowing through the strip will be 2.g.H .
Thus if dθ is the discharge through the strip then,
dθ = Cd x 2 ( H +h ) tan(θ /2 )dh 2.g.H
The total discharge ‘q’ for the entire triangular notch may be integration above
expression within limit O to H. Then,

Theory :
Momentum equation is based one Newton second law of motion
which states that the algebraic sum of external force applied to central
volume of fluid in
any distance. The
external forces included the component of weights. of the fluid and
of forces exerted externally open the boundary surface
of the control volume.
If a vertical water jet moving with velocity ‘V’ is made to strike a target which is
free
to move in vertical direction then the force will be exerted on the target by
the impact
of jet. According to momentum equation this force (which is also equal to the force required
to bring back the target in its original position) must
be equal to the rate of change of
momentum of the jet flow in the direction.
Applying momentum equation in x – direction.
