Question: The pipe orifice in Fig. 5 8 has a diameter of 4 in . and a coefficient of discharge of 0 . 6 5 0

The pipe orifice in Fig. 58 has a diameter of 4 in. and a coefficient of discharge of 0.650. The pipe diameter is 10 in. The manometer connections are attached to a differential gage partly filled with mercury, the remainder of the tube being filled with the same liquid as that flowing in the pipe, which is a heavy fuel oil at 70\deg F. Compute the discharge when the difference in mercury levels in the gage is: (a)2.10 in.; (6)13.5 in.; (c)27.6 in.; (d)52.2 in. Provide illustration and complete solution. Final answer given is 0.715,1.82,2.60,3.57 cfs.
