A sharp-edge orifice with corner taps is to be used to measure water flow rate (60F) in a
horizontal 2-in pipe (2.067in. ID). The maximum flow is expected to be about 7 cfm (cubic
feet per minute). Determine the diameter of the orifice if a maximum pressure difference of 2
psi is acceptable. (Answer must match to 3 decimal places).
