Me Laboratory 2 Report No. 4

Fluid velocity refers to the speed at which fluid particles move within a pipe or channel. In laminar flow, particles closer to the center move faster than those near the edges. Flow meters use the Bernoulli principle - the downstream pressure is lower than upstream pressure after an obstruction. Common flow meters include orifice plates and Venturi meters. Orifice plates have a circular hole that causes a pressure difference upstream and downstream. Venturi meters narrow the pipe to increase velocity and thus pressure difference.

WHAT IS A FLUID VELOCITY ?

NOT ALL FLUID PARTICLES


TRAVEL AT THE SAME
VELOCITY WITHIN A PIPE
Laminar and Turbelent flow in a pipes
In a flow metering device based
on the Bernoulli's Equation the
downstream pressure after an
obstruction will be lower than the
upstream pressure before.
The Orifice Plate
The orifice meter
consists of a flat orifice
plate with a circular
hole drilled in it. The Difference in
orifice plate meter can Pressue
be made of any
material, although
stainless steel is the
most common. There is
a pressure tap
upstream from the
orifice plate and
another just
downstream.
