1. Choose datum plane
2. Note at sections where velocity is known or
to be assumed.
3. Note at what points pressure is known or is
to be assumed
4. Note whether or not there is any point
where all three terms, pressure, elevation
and velocity is known
5. Note whether or not there is any point
where there is only one unknown quantity

A pipeline with a pump leads to nozzle as shown
in figure. Find the flow rate when the pump
develops a head of 80 ft. Assume that the head
loss in the 6 inch diameter pipe may be
expressed as hL=5V62/2g, while the head loss in
the 4 inch diameter pipe is hL=12V42/2g. Sketch
the energy line and hydraulic grade line, and
find the pressure at the suction side of the pump.

 Coefficient of Contraction “Cc”:
 Ratio of Area of Jet “A” to area of orifice
or opening “Ao”.
 Coefficient of Velocity “Cv”
 Ratio of actual velocity to ideal velocity.
Actual velocity by discharge & ideal by
Bernoulli equation.
 Coefficient of Discharge “Cd”
 Ratio of actual discharge to ideal
discharge

Kerosene (SG=0.85) flows through the
venturi meter as shown in figure with flow
rates between 0.005 and 0.050 cumecs.
Determine the range in pressure
difference p1-p2 needed to measure these
flow rates.
