In a venturi meter, the fluid flowing from the main pipe is caused to accelerate through a narrow section called the throat, where the fluid pressure is decreased. By the virtue of the energy equation, the pressure difference between the entrance and the throat is used to measure the volumetric flow rate in a flowmeter. In this Lab, you will calculate the venturi coefficient Cv and the theoretical volumetric flow rate from experimentally collected data. You will then compare the actual flowrate to the theoretical one. Theory Equations and formulas governing the Venturi tube used in this Lab were taken from the textbook "Fluid Power with Applications 7e By Robert L. Mott" Chapter 15, section 15.3.1. Data Collection The following data were collected for analysis. The experimental flow rate QE in L/min (1 L = 0.001 m3). The pressure drop Pd from the entrance A and the throat B in millibar (1 bar = 101325 Pa). The pressure drop Pv from the entrance A and the exit C in millibar
