Question:

A horizontal venturi meter having a throat diameter of 20 mm is set in a 75-mm-ID pipeline. Water at 15°C is flowing through the line. A manometer containing mercury under water measures the pressure differential over the instrument. When the manometer reading is 500 mm, what is the flow rate in m3/h? If 12 percent of the differential is permanently lost, what is the power consumption of the meter?
