Theoretical Velocity at Section 1 in Orifice Meter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Velocity at Point 1 = sqrt((Velocity at Point 2^2)-(2*[g]*Venturi Head))
V₁ = sqrt((V_p2^2)-(2*[g]*h_venturi))
This formula uses 1 Constants, 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Constants Used

[g] - Gravitational acceleration on Earth Value Taken As 9.80665

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Velocity at Point 1 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity at Point 1 refers to the velocity of fluid passing through point 1 in flow.
Velocity at Point 2 - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The Velocity at Point 2 refers to the direction of the movement of the body or the object.
Venturi Head - (Measured in Meter) - The Venturi head refers to the difference between pressure head at inlet and pressure head at the throat.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Velocity at Point 2: 34 Meter per Second --> 34 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Venturi Head: 24 Millimeter --> 0.024 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V₁ = sqrt((V_p2^2)-(2*[g]*h_venturi)) --> sqrt((34^2)-(2*[g]*0.024))

Evaluating ... ...

V₁ = 33.9930769539917

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

33.9930769539917 Meter per Second --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

33.9930769539917 ≈ 33.99308 Meter per Second <-- Velocity at Point 1

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
