Crude oil of specific gravity (0.75) is flowing through a pipe. The pipe has a diameter of 100 mm and 50 mm at the sections 1 and 2 respectively. The velocity of crude oil at the section 1 is 550 cm/s. The   section 1 is 3000 mm and section 2 is 2000 mm above the datum. If the pressure at the section 1 is 0.2 N/mm2, find the intensity of pressure at section 2?

Brine (specific gravity 1.20) is flowing through a standard 80-mm pipe at a maximum rate of 0.9 m3/min. In order to measure the rate of flow, a sharp-edged orifice, connected to a simple U-manometer is to be installed. The maximum reading of the manometer is to be 400 mm Hg. What size orifice should be installed? Repeat, assuming a venturi meter is used instead of an orifice.
