The discharge through a Venturimeter depends upon _________________?
Correct answer: C. Pressure drop only
- A. Co-efficient of contraction only
- B. Its orientation
- C. Pressure drop only
- D. None of these
Explanation
For a fixed Venturimeter, the measured pressure drop is used to calculate discharge, so pressure drop is the relevant operating measurement. Strictly, discharge also depends on the meter geometry and discharge coefficient, making 'pressure drop only' an idealised statement.
