DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS SIMPLIFICATION OF VENTURI METER COMPUTATION.

Abstract

Through the use of dimensional analysis dimensionless parameters were developed which simplify computation of mass flow rates of a fluid through a pipe, as measured by a Venturi meter. Numerical values for new parameters were obtained for various size Herschel type Venturi meters, and plot of representative curve led to development of an equation for direct mass flow rate determination.
