Fluid Mechanics
Select the wrong statement pertaining to flow of an incompressible fluid through a venturimeter.

Venturimeter occupies less space than an orificemeter
Venturimeter incurs less power loss compared to an equivalent orificemeter
For frictionless flow, the fluid pressure entering the venturi meter will be exactly equal to that leaving the venturimeter
Discharge of fluid through a venturimeter depends upon the gage difference irrespective of the orientation of venturimeter

Fluid Mechanics
A bed of spherical particles (specific gravity 2.5) of uniform size 1500 μm is 0.5 m in diameter and 0.5 m high. In packed bed state, the porosity may be taken as 0.4. Ergun's equation for the above fluid-particle system (in SI units) is given below : Δ P/L = 375 x 10³ VOM + 10.94 x 10⁶ V²OM (SI units) If water is to be used as the fluidising medium, the minimum fluidisation velocity, VOM is

12 mm/s
16 mm/s
24 mm/s
28 mm/s
