  Robert Venturi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, Venturi met his future wife, the architect and planner Denise Scott Brown, who joined the firm in 1967.
Venturi was a controversial critic of the purely functional and spare designs of modern orthodox architecture and was considered a counterrevolutionary.

 Venturi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
The venturi flow meter is installed as a section of pipe or tubing and is used to measure the flow of fluids, either gaseous or liquid.
Venturis are designed using a quarter of an ellipse as an inlet approach to the throat.
Venturis which are to be used to measure gaseous flows are calibrated with air against Flow-Dyne master Sonic Flow Nozzles or volumetric equipment depending on flow range.

 Venturi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Venturi is a system for speeding the flow of the fluid, by constricting it in a cone-shaped tube.
When the fluid flows though the venturi the pressure in the two ends of the tube will differ, forcing the liquid to the "low pressure" side.
Venturi are more expensive to construct than a simple orifice plate which uses the same principle as a Venturi, but the orifice plate causes significantly more permanent energy loss and is less accurate.

 Robert Venturi
Venturi is an architect whose work cannot be categorized; to him, there is never a single solution.
Venturi's early professional work was in the office of Eero Saarinen, where among other projects, he worked on the design of the Milwaukee County War Memorial Center.
Indeed the brand of Post-Moderism through which Venturi tried to improve the well-being of people and their environment and to reinvigorate a Modernist tradition which was now de passe and sclerotic had little in common with the trend which almost everywhere won cheap applause simply by currying favor with populist taste.

Venturi, after all, had grown up in Philadelphia and had grown to love the highly original, exaggerated forms and fantastic, decorated surfaces of Furness' buildings.
Venturi said he painted the house green "because Marcel Breuer said never make a building green." The house, he said, "was fun for my mother to live in; she was a widow and people were visiting all the time." Even with new owners, the Venturis still have Thanksgiving dinner there every year.

Other devices typically used to determine flowrate are orifices and nozzles, but the venturi tube has less head loss than either of these other methods due to its streamlined design.
Venturis with cast iron entrance cones (the converging portion) are typically used in 4 to 32 inch (10 to 80 cm) diameter pipes.
Venturis with machined convergences are typically used in pipes having diameter less than 10 inches (25 cm) while venturis with a welded sheet metal convergence are used for larger pipes, typically up to 48 inch (1.2 m) diameter (ASME, 1971).

 Venturi Aeration: Innovative Technologies in Liquids Treatment. "Remediation" Page.
In this manner groundwater is "conditioned" ex situ in the Venturi Aeration Bioremediation Unit, and then is injected into the subsurface vadose zone and groundwater for biological reductions of residual hydrocarbons or chlorinated solvents in the soil and groundwater.
By having only one (1) venturi aeration system accomplish all these combined tasks its makes the capital costs for setting up a bioremediation system very cost effective, and because it is actually moving groundwater to the bioreactor component in a closed loop system it makes the process "dynamic." Many passive or static bioremediation technologies, e.g.
With the Venturi Aeration Bioremediation unit the influent line into the unit was connected to an existing 0.5 hp Grundfoss pump in a four (4") recovery well on the down gradient side of the plume.

 Development of a Critical Air Flow Venturi for Air Sampling
Many factors influence the performance of the critical venturi, such as entrance shape, the length of the throat section, the length of the divergent section, and the convergent angle and the divergent angle.
The critical pressure drop of the optimized critical venturi at a stable airflow is lower (approximately 9 kPa) and the pressure recovery efficiency is higher (90%).
These critical venturi are being used in a development of a multipoint air sampler for study of spatial distribution of aerosol concentration.

 Incorrect Lift Theory
The theory is based on the idea that the airfoil upper surface is shaped to act as a nozzle which accelerates the flow.
Considering the conservation of mass, the mass flowing past any point in the nozzle is a constant; the mass flow rate of a Venturi nozzle is a constant.
The problem with the "Venturi" theory is that it attempts to provide us with the velocity based on an incorrect assumption (the constriction of the flow produces the velocity field).

Venturi Aeration worked with the consulting engineering firm (Camp Dresser & McKee) to test a filtration method using the AutoVac rotary vacuum drum technology to effectively dewater the alum sludge and to provide a clean effluent.
The AutoVac system worked better than anticipated because not only did it effectively dewater the residuals to a >35% cake, but it produced a “filtrate” that was so clean that it was certified by the DEP to be free from Giardia and Cryptosporidium cysts.
