A Venturi Tube is a converging-diverging nozzle (Fig. 3.27)
placed in a pipe. The principle of this was demonstrated by
Giovanni Battista
Venturi(1746-1822) in 1797. It was only later in 1887 that it was
employed for flow measurement by Herschel. The mass flow rate is
again given by Eqn. 3.84. ((see Flow through a Sharp-edged Orifice) (c) Aerospace, Mechanical & Mechatronic Engg. 2005 University of Sydney |
