Which of the following has highest-coefficient of discharge_____________________?
Correct answer: C. Venturi meter
- A. Sharp edged orifice
- B. Broad crested weir
- C. Venturi meter
- D. Cippoletti weir
Explanation
A venturi meter has a very high coefficient of discharge, generally close to unity, because its gradual contraction and expansion produce small energy losses. Sharp-edged orifices and Cipolletti weirs have substantially lower coefficients.
