 | | According to the venturi principal, the output pressure will be the same as the input pressure; the pressure will only change in the venturi itself (since the product of velocity and pressure stays constant throughout the line). |
 | | But I see the the venturi as a constriction, almost like a valve, which should case a pressure drop at its output, since it should have the same effect a valve has when you close it half way. |
 | | However, because of frictional effects in the fluid, the pressure leaving the diverging section is always less than P1, the pressure entering the meter. |
