A Venturi meter is a flow measurement device used to determine the flow rate of fluid in a pipeline. It operates based on the principle of Bernoulli’s equation, utilizing the change in cross-sectional area to create a pressure difference that correlates with the fluid flow rate. Venturi meters are commonly …

Orifice meter: Components, Principle, Types, Advantages
An orifice meter is a widely used device for measuring the flow rate of fluids in pipelines. It operates based on the principle of restricting the flow through an orifice, creating a pressure difference across the orifice that can be correlated with the flow rate. Here is a detailed note …
Energy losses
Energy losses occur in various systems and processes due to factors such as friction, turbulence, heat transfer, and inefficiencies inherent in the design or operation of a system. Reducing energy losses is a key focus in engineering and design to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of processes. Here are common …
Bernoulli’s theorem and its applications
Bernoulli’s Theorem: , pressure, and elevation along a streamline. The theorem is based on the conservation of energy for an ideal fluid flowing along a streamline with no external work or heat transfer. The general form of Bernoulli’s theorem is given by: where: – P is the pressure of the …
Reynolds number and its significance
Reynolds Number Osborne Reynolds introduced the Reynolds number (Re) in the late 19th century as a dimensionless quantity used in fluid mechanics to predict flow patterns in various fluid flow situations. This parameter helps determine whether the flow of a fluid, whether liquid or gas, will be laminar or turbulent. …
Flow of fluids and Types of Manometers
The flow of fluids is a critical aspect of fluid mechanics, and manometers play a crucial role in measuring and understanding fluid flow. A manometer is a device used for measuring pressure, typically in a closed container or system. There are different types of manometers, each with its specific applications …
