Fluid Mechanics
The energy loss in flow through ven-turimeter is less than that through flow nozzle, because in case of a flow nozzle, the

Throat diameter is more
Length is shorter
Sudden expansion of flow in the downstream occurs
Distance between the throat and the inlet is more

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