1. A Venturi meter with an inlet diameter of 0.6 m is designed to handle 6 m3 /s of standard air. What is the required throat diameter if this flow is to give a reading of 0.10 m of alcohol in a differential manometer connected to the inlet and the throat? The specific gravity of alcohol may be taken as 0.8.
2. The pressurized tank shown has a circular cross section of 6 ft in diameter. Oil is drained through a nozzle 2 in. in diameter in the side of the tank. Assuming that the air pressure is maintained constant, how long does it take to lower the oil surface in the tank by 2 ft? The specific gravity of the oil in the tank is 0.85 and that of mercury is 13.6.
