Question

Data from an orifice meter

Interpreting Data from an Orifice Meter In this problem you apply the Bernoulli equation to determine the size of an orifice given a pressure drop across the orifice and a volumetric flow rate. Heavy oil with a specific gravity of 0.900 flows at 1.74x10^-2 m^3s in a 4" schedule 40 steel pipe (inner diameter of 4.03"). If a pressure drop of 9.3*10^4 Pa is measured across an orifice meter having an orifice coefficient of 0.61, what is the diameter (in mm) of the circular orifice
