Note:

- The fluid is ideal (no friction and no compressible)


- 𝒈 = 𝟗, 𝟖𝟏 𝒎/𝒔𝟐

For this exercise, the flow is steady, FRICTIONLESS and incompressible.

The device shown in the figure below is a Venturi-meter in a ventilation duct, used to
measure the flow rate of the air. The Venturi-meter consists in a manometer filled-in with
mercury, where its extremes are positioned in two points of the duct with different areas

2

Δh =1,2 mm

Given:

𝑘𝑔
- Mercury density 𝜌𝑚 = 13 600 ⁄𝑚3
𝑘𝑔⁄
- Air density 𝜌𝑎 = 1,3 𝑚3
- Area in point 1 and 2 are respectively 𝐴1 = 0,3 𝑚2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐴2 = 0,07 𝑚2
- The reading on the maometer shows a 𝜟𝒉 = 1,2 mm

Necessary assumptions:
- The density of the mercury inside the manometer is considerably bigger than the air
density.
Asked:
1. Calculate, based on the reading at the manometer, the difference of static pressure
between point 1 and 2, ΔP=P1 – P2 [Pa].
2. FOR 2. Apply Bernoulli eq. between point 1 and 2 to express the velocity 𝑣1 (in point 1) in
LESSON 2 function of the velocity 𝑣2 (in point 2) or vice versa. If you don’t have a result for
question 1), you can assume ΔP=160 [Pa].
3. Apply the continuity of mass to calculate the velocity 𝑣1 and 𝑣2 [𝑚/𝑠]. If you don’t
have a result for question 2), you can assume 𝑣2 = √246 + 𝑣12
4. Calculate the volume flow rate of air in the ventilation duct 𝜙𝑉 [𝑚3 /s].
