Permanent loss in a Venturimeter is about ___________ percent of the pressure drop in the upstream cone?

Correct answer: B. 10

  • A. 1
  • B. 10
  • C. 40
  • D. 70

Explanation

A Venturimeter recovers most of the pressure in its diffuser, so its permanent loss is small, commonly about 10% of the pressure drop in the upstream cone. The larger percentages represent excessive loss rather than normal Venturi performance.
