    The document describes an experiment to determine the coefficient of a venturimeter. A venturimeter is a device used to measure fluid flow speed that has a constricted throat section between inlet and outlet pipes of different diameters. The experiment involves measuring the pressure difference across the inlet and throat, the fluid discharge rate, and calculating the venturimeter coefficient using these values and the device dimensions. Two trials were conducted where discharge rate and pressure difference were recorded and used to calculate the coefficient in both cases. The objectives of familiarizing with the venturimeter and determining its coefficient were achieved.

    To Find the Coefficient of Venturimeter


    Objectives :
    ( a ) to familiar our self with the working of venturimeter.
    ( b ) to find the coefficient of Venturimeter.

    Theory Background :
    Venturimeter :
    it is a device used to measure the flow speed of fluid.
    Its schematic diagram is shown below :

    d 1 = 27 mm = 0.027 m
    d 2=13.5 mm = 0.0135 m
    H = H1 H2
    a 1 = d 12 = 0.00057255 m2

    Where
    Q = discharge
    Cd = coefficient of Venturimeter
    d1 = Inlet diameter
    d2 = Outlet diameter

    Experimental Procedure :

    First of place the venturimeter apparatus on the hydraulic bench.


    Now connect the inlet of venturimeter with the sump supply.
    Turn on the supply from the flow regulator.
    Adjust the flow regulator in such a way that the water should not touch
    the extreme points of the peizometers attached to the inlet and throat.
    Now wait a little bit until the water gets stabilize level in the peizometer glass tubes.
    Now if there is a fluctuation in the levels of water present in peizometer tubes then
    take the reading by taking the mean of upper and lower level reading of
    fluctuating water level.
    H1 will be the pressure head at inlet section.
    H2 will be the pressure head at throat.
    H is the difference of pressure head at inlet and pressure head at throat.
    Now calculate the discharge = Q = V/ t by noting the volume collected in
    the volumetric tank and the time taken by it .
    Finally find the coefficient of venturimeter by the formula.

    Cd =
