A venturi meter has an inlet of 250 mm and a throat of 150 mm diameter. Its coefficient of discharge is .985. Calculate the volume flow rate of water through the pipe if the pressure difference between the inlet and the throat is 34.5 kN/m2. Take the density of water as 997 kg/m3. Calculate the Reynolds number of the flow at the inlet if the kinematic viscosity of the water is 1.004 cSt. Is the inlet flow laminar, transient, or turbulent?
