VENTURI TUBE<\/h2>\n The venturi tube is a tube designed to measure the velocity of a fluid. By knowing the initial velocity and measuring the pressure difference, the fluid velocity at the problem point can be known.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The basic venturi tube consists of a tube formed with 2 joined sections joined by a narrow tube in which the fluid travels at a higher velocity. The pressure is measured through a vertical tube attached to both the wide and narrow sections. The difference in height of the tubes allows the pressure at each point to be known.<\/p>\n
The venturi tube is also used to accelerate the velocity of a fluid by passing it through a narrower tube. It is essential in systems where fluid velocity is very important.<\/p>\n
APPLICATIONS OF THE VENTURI EFFECT<\/h2>\n The applications of the venturi effect are mainly due to the pressure drop that occurs when a fluid is passed through a narrower cross-section. If this section is sufficiently reduced so that the pressure becomes negative, this will cause a suction. <\/strong>The suction produced through the Venturi effect is constantly used in applications where a mixture of fluids (either liquid or gas) is required such as:<\/p>\n\nCar carburettor<\/strong>The carburettor sucks in the fuel by the Venturi effect. It mixes with the air (fluid from the main duct) as it passes through a narrowing.<\/li>\nHydraulics - Fire brigade<\/strong>The depression generated in a constriction by increasing the fluid velocity is used in Z-type mixers to add foam concentrate to a water line for extinguishing.<\/li>\nIn small water pumps where you want to inject a gas (e.g. CO2 in aquariums) or suction (ozone in domestic appliances).<\/li>\n Oil<\/strong>Suction, which originates from the change of section, is used to extract fluids from oil wells.<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The venturi effect, demonstrated by the Italian physicist Giovanni Battista Venturi in 1797, is the effect whereby a fluid decreases in pressure as its velocity increases when passing through an area with a smaller cross-section.
