Venturi Definition and 113 Threads

To get water into a pressurised steam engine boiler, an injector passes high pressure steam through a converging/diverging nozzle, sucking cold water in at the throat. The resulting steam/water mix is at a higher pressure, but lower temperature, and so is able to return to the boiler. Heat is...

Hello guys, running a small project at a client's site wherein he has a problem of leakage from pumps and the machine's door causing cutting oil to start collecting in a tray kept beneath the machine. They are now using a Vacuum Cleaner to suck up this oil once every 30 minutes or so and this...

I'm building a fertigation system using 1 inch venturi injector with ball valve at the end to simulate drip irrigation system pressure requirement. i have read to start an injection you need 30% pressure difference between injector inlet and outlet. the pressure I'm simulating is around 10 meter...

I have a vacuum ejector and with a suction cup that drops items. think maybe it could be a pressure drop. but what happens if a vacuum ejector gets less pressure, does it suck less? know it's something with bernoulis

Hello, was wondering if I could pass compressed air through a venturi pump to pull floating oil from a tank? If yes, how do I control the eventual mixing of oil with the air from the outlet end? The requirement is given to me by one of my clients who wants an easy, and low-cost solution to...

Advanced apologies for this format; I am posting my question as an the image b/c the Latex is being very buggy with me, and I lost a kind of lengthy post to it. Can anyone show me what I am doing wrong? I have attached a pdf version for easier reading if need be.

I have recently find this video and just curious about the working principle behind this concentrated windmill. Apparently it seems that the basic principle is Venturi effect but the shape of the entry point is more suitable for Coanda effect with its curved surface at the entry. And it's also...

The drawing above is regarding a thought experiment of mine. Air at ambient pressure is being blown through a convergent-divergent nozzle and in the throat section, a water filled enclosed container is attached through a tube. The water container has sufficient surface area for supplying...

Good day I am trying to use a venturi across a centrifugal pump. The pressure at suction side is about 2 bar and the discharge pressure about 6 to 7 bar. This pump supply drippers and the delivery is about 180 cub/h. I need to inject entrainment air into the suction side and try to use a...

Hey guys, I have built a Compressed air venturi operated Drum Pump for my garage. The system consists of a horizontal venturi tube with a pipe (shut-off tube) that is inserted into the Drum. Turning on the venturi creates vacuum in the drum and thus liquid is sucked from outside and is collected...

Hello, We make a Venturi vacuum system for recovering CNC coolant from the swarf trolley. It is a simple arrangement consisting of a venturi tube tee'd off the coolant pump and a stand-off placed at the bottom of the swarf trolley with a filter disc. Now the problem with this system is that it...

Hello there, first post. I am a machinist trying to figure out the following problem, and getting lost in the process. Ok, I have a 1/2" square aluminum tube, 3/8" square inside...48" long, and one end is capped off, and the other, I am planning on welding in an air fitting to induce...

Venturi effect is known for centuries. And most probably that's why experimental proofs are rare because it's already accepted. But, I want to know how close real results are in case of experiments regarding Venturi Effect. I am especially interested in results of experiment regarding velocity...

Hi, I have designed a simple Venturi meter to measure pressure differential across to section of the pipe as pictured. However in calculations I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. I am trying to calculate Volumetric flow rate in L/s. I am using Bernoulli Equation of the Venturi meter as...

Hey guys, we've been tasked with providing solutions for reducing coolant consumption by our client using automation. One of those is a system to reclaim the coolant dripped off of the chips from a Chip Trolley in a CNC Machine. Around 15-20 Litres of coolant+water emulsion is wasted everyday...

Hi, I am trying to figure out the strength of the various type of airflow for my Venturi ejector device. Please refer to my diagram that illustrates scenario A or scenario B. The SAME amount of compressed air is injected for both scenario A and B. For simplicity, I have added to an electrical...

I've google all the keywords like "eductor", "ejector", "Venturi pump". All of them are the mechanism or applications that utilize "Venturi Effect". All of them are trying to explain the "suction effect" by saying that restriction area makes the fluid's velocity higher and hence lower pressure...

So this is something I been thinking about. In venturi principle when a fluid or gas is moving across a tube when it is constricted the fluid has increased velocity. Because it in constriction the pressure goes down. But in Boyle law if volume is decreased the pressure goes up. So in the...

I would appreciate opinions on this...on which setup would create the best vacuum in an exhaust gas stream? The #1 drawing is a pipe that has a birds eye cut in it. These are sold for engine crankcase exhaust ventilation. There are some that say they work, then others that say they don't work...

What are the ideal dimensions of a hyperboloid tower that would maximize the venturi effect started by thermal updraft from human body heat (assuming previous physical activity on a hot day)? Given a 40ft base, how large should the skirt be and how high off the ground? A vertically symmetrical...

Hello I`m working on a vacuum project, and I am trying to understand how the vacuum ejector I am using works. I understant the basic principle of how it works, but can anybody here try to explain the concept in detail, taking into consideration that I am using air? Most of the stuff i find...

I've noticed that a slight opening of the faucet releases less water which makes sense intuitively but I don't notice an increase in velocity. Since a slight opening in the stopper would be a convergence in cross sectional area. Am I missing something? I read about resistance affect but still...

I am working on problem that has to deal with a jet ejector. For the life of me, I cannot figure out the E-Balance equation for it. Below is a cut away image of the ejector. The fluid is the same so using the ideal gas law I do not think should be included. Any help is greatly appreciated...

I know that the Venturi effect creates an area of higher fluid velocity with a lower pressure. However I'm having a hard time wrapping my brain around this. I would think that if a fluid passes through a contricted area, pressure would increase. Can someone explain?

Hello everyone :) I was given a problem reguarding Venturi effect. By a coincidence, I found a youtube video which solves the same question, but I didn't undersand one of its equations. The problem: There is this pipe system of flowing ideal liquid. The cross-sections A1 and A2 are given...

Hi, I have this problem: I have a vertical tube 1 meter D, in the bottom end there is a nozzle with 0,5 m D. The tube is full of water. the tube length is 10 meters and the nozzle length is 2 meters. I need to calculate the power of this by this equation: W = Q * g * h * p where W is watt, Q...

I have a venturi gas vacuum pump on the the end of an exhaust as an example. The exhaust spills out at 2.5cfm and 2 lbs. On a average of venturi efficiency, how much cfm at what pressure (or ratio alike) would be needed to eject the exhaust gas to near vacuem? As a secondary question, what would...

Homework Statement A 4 inch to 1 inch diameter venturi meter is used to measure water flow and it has a mercury manometer deflection of 1 inch. What is the discharge through the four inch diameter pipe? Homework Equations Bernoulli Equation, manometer formula The Attempt at a Solution Thus...

Homework Statement Homework Equations p=ρgh Q=A1U1=A2U2 Bernoulli: p1+½ρU12+ρgz1=p2+½ρU22+ρgz2 The Attempt at a Solution [/B] So I got that the pressure difference is gh(ρm-ρ). So I rearranged Bernoulli for p1-p2 to get (assuming the potential is the same I eliminated it)...

I have a model venturi I've created useing a air compressor letting the compressed air out of a small nozzle at the end of the air hose attached to the compressor. The nozzle is placed within a pipe causing the release of air directly torward the right of the pipe then to atmosphere leaving very...

I’ve been trying to understand why a carbureted engine runs richer with altitude. I understand there is not as much power since less dense air results less mass charge and that oxygen percentage is lower at higher altitudes. Since a venturi’s drop in pressure is given generally by the...

So I recently looked into the venturi effect, only to be confused. I had always been aware that a lower available volume would result in a higher pressure, yet I had read that fluid passing through a constriction is actually subjected to less pressure than the diverging sides of a pipe. I had...

Can anyone tell me if the reverse of Bernoulli's principal is true, in other words if I go from a smaller diameter pipe to a large pipe does the pressure increase? Applying this to a Venturi tube if I go from a large pipe to a smaller pipe and add an inlet that adds mass due to the suction...

Homework Statement A venturi meter is being calibrated horizontally and has a diameter of 75mm at the entrance and 50mm at the throat . The flow rate is obtained by measuring the time required to collect certain amount of water . The average number of measurement gives 0.614m^3 of water in...

Look at my picture. I understand venturi pipe when water is flowing...What if we close both entrance and exit of venturi pipe . Will all 3 pressures be equal.

Homework Statement A venturi flume is formed in a horizontal rectangular channel 1.2m wide by locally constricting the channel to a width of 0.9m and raising the floor level through the constriction by a height of 0.2m. If the flow is 0.45 m3/s and a hydraulic jump forms downstream, calculate...

Not a physics student -- but was thinking about how the A/C system works in a vehicle. First surprise was that pressure drops when a tube narrows. Seemed counter-intuitive as I was picturing taking a balloon and squeezing it -- would the pressure in the middle be lower than the ends? Then again...

Hello For my study I'm making a specific design I'm trying to design a ballast chamber which i want to empty with a venturi pump I attached a schematic image of the idea Through pipe A a liquid is pumped with around 150m3/h through a 6'' pipe. The pipe is narrowed at the end, with a space...

A venture airvalve is a mechanical device which for a given valve position results in a constant flow independent of inlet pressure (within a given range). If pressure increases, flow increases resulting in a low pressure in the throat of the venture which sucks the plunger in thereby reducing...

This is not really homework but an engineering problem nonetheless. 1. I have a venturi injector sucking in liquid (by all means and purposes identical to water) and injecting into a pressurized water line. A straight tube is inserted into the container of liquid (below the liquid surface) and...

Hello everyone. When I try to do mass flow systematic uncertainty estimation for venturi nozzle and orifice, I am getting the biggest error from venturi nozzle. What is the reason for it? ( Why coefficient of velocity of venturi nozzle is too big compared to orifice and nozzle.)

I have a water tank fed from a piping system that has very low head in it. As a result flow tends to be low. See sketch below. I am thinking of ways to boost the flow. I already have a centrifugal pump at the site. Could I use its flow to boost the flow from the incoming pipe via a venturi /...

I have an argon line used for atomization and backfilling a VIM melting chamber. If there is a leak on the argon line (at a fitting, valve, etc), will this leak actually draw in air when gas is turned on and flowing through pipe creating a mixture of argon and air?

Hi, I try to understand an article from Wikipedia about the venturi scrubber. I cannot understand its some parts. I would like to ask these parts from here. 1) "The inlet gas, forced to move at extremely high velocities in the small throat section, shears the liquid from its walls, producing...

I was hoping to get a more complete understanding how a Venturi vacuum increases the Momentum of the fluid. I know Momentum is an awful way to pose this question but it really is important that it can be explained by momentum instead of conservation - Hence the post. An initial pressure...

Hello everyone! I am new here. I have used this forum on and off through google searches in the past and learned a fair bit from the posts. This is the first time asking anything. The question is probably extremely simple but has been overrun in my head for a week! It is in regards to...

Hi, I am building a hose system with an automatic liquid dispenser using venturi effect. The 12v pump is taking water in a tank via a 3/4 pipe and has a capability of 2.9gpm at 50psi. The main system is built with 3/4 pipes and a 5/8 hose. The siphon pipe is 1/4 and I added a check valve...

Now I've read a few explanations online already in the hopes of getting to grips with this phenomenon, but it seems they all bang on about the same thing (higher velocity in the narrow portion due to the principle of continuity), though none really explain WHY pressure drops in the narrow...

Homework Statement A venturi tube is a means of measuring fluid velocity. One particular device consists of a level, circular pipe of radius 5.7 cm which at one point narrows to a radius of 3.7 cm. An ideal, incompressible liquid flows through the tube and the pressure difference between the...
