For a given fluid flow rate, which of the following incurs maximum head loss ?
Correct answer: A. Orificemeter
- A. Orificemeter
- B. Venturimeter
- C. Flow nozzle
- D. All of them incur the same head loss
Explanation
An orifice meter creates strong flow contraction and separation, causing the greatest permanent energy loss. A venturi meter has the smallest loss, while a flow nozzle lies between them.
