Question: A 1 2 - in . by 6 in . Venturi meter is installed in a vertical pipe line carrying water, as shown in Fig.

A 12-in. by 6in. Venturi meter is installed in a vertical pipe line carrying water, as shown in Fig. A. The flow is upward through the meter. A differential manometer containing carbon tetrachloride (sp gr 1.50) is attached to inlet and throat, the difference z in sage levels being 2,50 ft. Neglecting loss of head, write energy equation from inlet to throat of meter. Also write step-by-step equation of differential gage between inlet and throat, and combine the two equations to compute the discharge. How does the fact that the meter is vertical instead of horizontal affect the solution? Final answer is 1.82 cfs. Provide illustration and complete solution.
