the orifice flow meter below is located in a horizontal pipe carrying gasoline. the diameter of the pipe at section 1 is 8 cm and at the constriction (section 2) is 4 cm. the pressure at point 1 is 500 kPa (gage) and at point 2 is 120 kPa (gage). the Cd coefficient of the orifice is 0.64. find the following: (a) the volumetric flowrate through the pipe. (b) the velocity in the pipe. (c) the mass flowrate through the pipe.
