Liquid kerosene flows through a venturi meter, as shown in fig. p1.36. the pressure of the kerosene in the pipe supports columns of kerosene that differ in height by 12 cm. determine the difference in pressure between points a and b, in kpa. does the pressure increase or decrease as the kerosene flows from point a to point b as the pipe diameter decreases? the atmospheric pressure is 101 kpa, the specific volume of kerosene is 0.00122 m3/kg, and the acceleration of gravity is g 5 9.81 m/s2.
