a) 4 assumptions that describe the system.


1) Fluid is ideal,frictionless flow
2) Fluid is steady flow :d/dt =0
3) No shaft work :Wpump = Wturbine = 0
4) No heat transfer

b) Determine the volumetric flow rate of water in pipe


c) Advantage and disadvantage for each flow measurement devices

Devices Advantages Disadvantages


 High pressure recovery,low  Size,as well as cost is high
Venturimeter permanent pressure drop  Difficult to inspection due to its
 High coefficient of discharge construction
 Can be installed in any direction  Nonlinear
horizontal,vertical and inclined  Maintenance is not easy
 Cannot use in pipe that has small
diameter(70mm)
 Small plates and easy to install or  Requires homogeneous fluid
Orifice meter remove  Requires the flow of axial velocity
 Easily maintained vectors
 Simple construction  Cause a pressure drop in the fluid
 Suitable for most gases and liquids  Accuracy affected by
density,pressure and the viscosity of
the fluid
 Causes very less pressure loss  Any foreign material in flow can
Pitot tube  No moving part which helps in change the accurate reading
minimizing frictional loses  Not very accurate
 Small in size and low in cost  Has low sensitivity
 Easy to install and remove  Cannot be used with dirty fluid
