← ScienceWhich phenomenon limits flow rate measurements using venturi meters?
A)Cavitation erosion due to vapour pressure✓
B)Accurate readings increase with Reynolds number
C)Static pressure increase upstream linearly
D)Dynamic viscosity does not affect measurement
💡 Explanation
Cavitation erosion limits venturi meters because Bernoulli's principle underestimates real pressure drop where high velocity causes **vapourization**. Therefore, cavitation occurs, rather than accurate measurements, since localized low pressure bubbles damage sensors.
