Question

In a venturimeter, the velocity of liquid at throat is __________ than at inlet

Answer 1

In a venturimeter, the velocity of liquid at throat is higher than at inlet

Explanation:

Venturimeter:- It is the well know device in fluid mechanics that use venturi effects. It works on the basis of Bernoulli"s equation.

• It measures the velocity or flow rate of fluid in the pipe.
• Every device has cylindrical entrance section ,one converging part , cylindrical throat and a diverging part.

Throat in Venturimeter:-

The throat is placed in the middle of the venturi meter or venturi tube. This is a small cylindrical piece that connects the converging part and diverging part.

Answer 2

Answer:

In a venturimeter, the velocity of the liquid at the throat is higher than at the inlet.

Explanation:

• The Bernoulli's Equation is used to operate a venturimeter, which is a form of flowmeter.
• This device is frequently used to monitor the flow rates of fluids inside a pipe in the water, chemical, pharmaceutical, and oil & gas industries.
• Because the discharge is the same throughout the pipe and venturimeter, and the area of the throat is smaller than the inlet and outlet, the velocity at the throat will be higher than at the inlet.
