13.8 FLOW RATE


Fluid flow rate is important for a number of processes such as cooling and chemical.

13.8.1 Venturi

A Venturi valve uses a narrow section of a pipe to generate a pressure differential from the normal pipe diameter. The pressure differential will increase with the velocity of the flow. By measuring the pressure we can determine the flow rate.
