Dynamics of Fluid Flow: Pitot Tube
A pitot tube is placed at the centre of pipe having diameter 273 mm. The rise of water level in the pitot tube is h = 8 mm. Take coefficient of velocity CV = 0.98. If average velocity is 0.84 times the velocity at the centre, find the total discharge.
A pitot tube is placed at the centre of pipe having diameter 387 mm. The rise of water level in the pitot tube is h = 25 mm. Take coefficient of velocity CV = 0.98. If average velocity is 0.72 times the velocity at the centre, find the total discharge.
