Consider an orifice plate, illustrated in Figure 3, used for measuring the differential pressure of a fluid. Provide an equation used to determine the differential pressure of the fluid, also define each parameter given in the equation [5 Marks] Figure 3: Schematic illustration of an orifice plate used for measuring differential pressure
Expert Answer
ANSWER: Head type devices measure flow by constricting a stream and measuring the resulting pressure drop. The pressure drop can then be related to a flow. Orifice Plates: An orifice plate is
