Question

Problem 3. (25 points) Use the Homework Solution Format for this problem.Water flows steadily through the venturi nozzle shown. The manometer contains oil with SG=0.6 a. If the manometer shows

a 1.4 m difference in the oil levels, what is the pressure difference between locations 1 and 2? Be careful to include pressure changes due to the oil and water in the manometer. (Answer: 5483 Pa) b. Find the flow velocity at location 1 when the pipe diameter is d1=3 cm and the venturi diameter is d2=1.3 cm. Assume inviscid, ir rotational flow from locations 1 to 2. In your discussion, compare this velocity to your values in Problem 5 of Homework 1.
