Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
The velocity of a fluid flowing through the pipe is measured by
- Current and turbine meter
- Wire anemometer
- Pitot tube
Piezometer:
- A device that is used to measure liquid pressure in a system by measuring the height to which a column of the liquid rises against gravity or a device that measures the pressure (more precisely, the piezometric head) of groundwater at a specific point is called a piezometer.
- One end of the piezometer is connected to the point where the pressure is to be measured and the other end is open to the atmosphere.
Additional Information
Pitot Tube
- Pitot Tube is a device used for calculating the velocity of flow at any point in a pipe or a channel.
- It is based on the principle that if the velocity of flow at a point becomes zero, the pressure there is increased due to the conversion of the kinetic energy into pressure energy.
