A 20 cm × 15 cm venturimeter is fixed vertically in a pipe carrying water. The throat is 45 cm above the inlet. If the inlet pressure is 103 kPa (abs), what is the maximum discharge that can be passed through the pipe without cavitation occurring in the meter? The vapour pressure of water = 3.5 kPa (abs). The C_d
of the meter is 0.95.
