Select the wrong statement pertaining to flow of an incompressible fluid through a Venturimeter ?
Correct answer: A. Venturimeter occupies less space than an orificemeter
- A. Venturimeter occupies less space than an orificemeter
- B. leaving the Venturimeter
- C. Discharge of fluid through a Venturimeter depends upon the gage difference irrespective of
- D. the orientation of Venturimeter
- E. For frictionless flow, the fluid pressure entering the venturi meter will be exactly equal to that
- F. Venturimeter incurs less power loss compared to an equivalent orificemeter
Explanation
A Venturimeter has a converging section, throat, and diverging section, so it is considerably longer and bulkier than an orifice plate. Its advantage is lower permanent pressure loss, not smaller space requirement.
