The pressure drop across an orifice plate for a particular flow rate is $5\;Kg/m^2$. If the flow rate is doubled (within the operating range of the orifice), the correspo...

A pitot-static tube is used to estimate the velocity of an incompressible fluid of density 1 kg/m$^{3}$. If the pressure differences measured by the tube is 200 N/m$^{2}$...

The velocity of flow of water (density $1000\;kg/m^3$) in a horizontal pipe is measured using the $PITOT$ tube shown below. The fluid in the U-tube manometer is mercury w...

The pressure and velocity at the throat of a Venturi tube, measuring the flow of a liquid, are related to the upstream pressure and velocity, respectively, as follows:pre...

Water $\text{(density:}\;1000\;\text{kgm}^{-3})$ stored in a cylindrical drum of diameter $1\;\text{m}$ is emptied through a horizontal pipe of diameter $0.05\;\text{m}$....
