 Concentrated sucrose solution (s.g. = 1.20) flows through a 16 cm

Concentrated sucrose solution (s.g. = 1.20) flows through a 16 cm diameter pipe. Its flow rate is determined using a Venturi meter with a diameter of 4 cm at the throat and having a discharge coefficient of 0.95. Pressure differences over the converging section of the flow meter is 120 mm Hg where s.g. = 13.6 and PH20 = 1000 kg/m. Determine: (i) Determine the linear velocity and mass flow rate of the sugar solution, (ii) The sugar refinery is modernizing its equipment and the plant manager proposes to replace the Venturi with either an orifice meter or an inclined manometer. You have been assigned to consider the three devices and make a recommendation, Summarize your response. For a Venturi: Q = CA {2gah [1 (A1/A2)?]" where Ai is the diameter of the pipe and the other symbols have their usual meanings
