Given an orifice meter with a diameter of 5 cm, if the pressure drop across it is 2000 Pa, and fluid density is 1000 kg/m³, calculate the flow rate.
💡 Hint: Apply the formula for discharge through an orifice.
A pipe has a diameter of 10 cm and experiences high turbulent flow with an average velocity of 3 m/s. Calculate the appropriate kinetic energy correction factor.
💡 Hint: Consider the average versus actual flow scenario for correction.
