  2. Venturi effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_effect

    Video of a Venturi meter used in a lab experiment Idealized flow in a Venturi tube. The Venturi effect is the reduction in fluid pressure that results when a moving fluid speeds up as it flows from one section of a pipe to a smaller section. The Venturi effect is named after its discoverer, the 18th-century Italian physicist Giovanni Battista ...

  3. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    The venturi compensator supplies a speed-dependent negative pressure, so that the pressure reduces as speed increases, compensating for the increased static pressure due to sink. According to Helmut Reichmann , "...the least sensitive venturi mounting point would appear to be on the upper quarter of the vertical fin, some 60 cm (2 feet) forward ...

  4. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    The Dall tube is a shortened version of a Venturi meter, with a lower pressure drop than an orifice plate. As with these flowmeters the flow rate in a Dall tube is determined by measuring the pressure drop caused by restriction in the conduit. The pressure differential is typically measured using diaphragm pressure transducers with digital readout.

  5. Vacuum ejector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_Ejector

    A vacuum ejector, or simply ejector, or aspirator, is a type of vacuum pump, which produces vacuum by means of the Venturi effect.. In an ejector, a working fluid (liquid or gaseous) flows through a jet nozzle into a tube that first narrows and then expands in cross-sectional area.

  6. Choked flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choked_flow

    Choked flow is a fluid dynamic condition associated with the Venturi effect. When a flowing fluid at a given pressure and temperature passes through a constriction (such as the throat of a convergent-divergent nozzle or a valve in a pipe ) into a lower pressure environment the fluid velocity increases.

  7. Venturi flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venturi_flume

    In hydrology, a Venturi flume is a device used for measuring the rate of flow of a liquid in situations with large flow rates, such as a river. [1] It is based on the Venturi effect, for which it is named. [2] It was first developed by V.M. Cone in Fort Collins, Colorado. [3] The Venturi flume consists of a flume with a constricted section in ...

  8. Parshall flume - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parshall_flume

    For the Parshall flume equation used to calculate the flow rate, both empirical values C and n are known constants (with various values for each Parshall flume size) leaving Ha (depth upstream) as the only variable needing to be measured. Likewise, in the energy conservation equation, y 1 (or the depth of flow) is needed.
