Question

Given an orifice meter with the dimensions in lab, a flow rate of 60 lbm/min and a differential pressure of 200 inches of water, the flow coefficient of the meter would be closest to Group of answer choices

Answer 1

Theoretically impossible

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The mass flow rate = 60 lbm/min

The differential pressure = 200 inches

The flow rate Q is can be expressed by the formula:

`Q = K.A√(2g \Delta h)`

where;

K = Discharge coefficient

A = area

Δh = Head drop

g = gravity

From the given parameter, the area is unknown.

Therefore, the flow coefficient of the meter will be theoretically impossible to be determined.
