The problems in fluid are basically composed of threemthree principles: Continuity equation and Bernoulli theorem, pressure principles. In this problem we see a horizontal venturi meter connected with a Manometer. The difference in height of manometer liquid is required. This can be easily calculateRead more
The problems in fluid are basically composed of threemthree principles: Continuity equation and Bernoulli theorem, pressure principles.
In this problem we see a horizontal venturi meter connected with a Manometer. The difference in height of manometer liquid is required.
This can be easily calculated by applying Bernoulli theorem and getting the Height(H) relationship with velocity of air flowing in venturi meter.
By given flow rate i.e. continuity equation and area at A and B(Note: to carefully change the units of area) we can find velocity at A(v1) and Velocity at B(v2). Now solving we get the required height as shown:

Correct answer is 15 mm. Rohit jha.km described it best. Thank you.
Some peripheral lines related to this topic:
According to Bernoulli's Principle at A and B points, P(A)/ρ*g + v(1)^2/2*g + Z(1) = P(B)/ρ*g + v(2)^2/2*g + Z(2) ----> Eq(1) Z(1) = Z(2) = 0 (since.. datum line is axial line of the pipe) ρ = 1 kg/m^3 Given Q(volumetric flowrate) = 10^(-3) m^3/s. v(1) = Q/A(1) = 10^(-3)/(100*(10^-3)^2) = 10 m/sRead more
