When Venturimeter is inclined, then for a given flow it will show Correct Answer Same reading

Explanation:

  • A venturi meter is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid of a liquid flowing through a pipe

  • The venturi meter always have smaller convergent portion and larger divergent portion
  • This is done to ensures a rapid converging passage and a gradual diverging passage in the direction of flow to avoid the loss of energy due to separation
  • In the course of flow through the converging part, the velocity increases in the direction of flow according to the principle of continuity, while the pressure decreases according to Bernoulli’s theorem
  • The velocity reaches its maximum value and pressure reaches its minimum value at the throat
  • Subsequently, a decrease in the velocity and an increase in the pressure take place in course of flow through the divergent part
  • The angle of convergence ≈ 20°
  • The angle of divergence = 6° - 7° → It should be not greater than 7° to avoid flow separation

When Venturimeter is inclined then also it shows the same readings. Inclination doesn’t cause any effect on the readings
