sections 1 and 2 respectively. The velocity of water at section lois given 4.0 m/s, find the
velocity head at sections 1 and 2 and also rate of discharge.

used to measure the flow of water. The reading of differential manometer connected to the
inlet and the throat is 20 cm of mercury. Determine the rate of flow. Take C d = 0. 98.
5 An orifice meter with orifice diameter 10 cm is inserted in a pipe of 20 cm diameter. The
pressure gauges fitted upstream and downstream of the orifice meter gives readings of 19.62
N/cm2 and 9.81 N/cm2 respectively. Co-efficient of discharge for the meter is given as 0.6.

respectively. The rate of flow through pipe is 35 litres/s. The section I is 6 m above datum and
section 2 is 4m above datum. If the pressure at section I is 39.24 N/cm2, find the intensity of
pressure at section 2.
4 pipe of diameter 400 mm carries water at a velocity of 25 m/s. The pressures at the points A
and B are given as 29.43 N/cm2 and 22.563 N/cm2 respectively while the datum head at A
and B are 28 m and 30 m. Find the loss of head between A and B.
