1. Bernoulli's equation relates pressure, elevation, and velocity in fluid flow and is used to measure flow velocity in devices like pitot tubes, venturi meters, and orifices.
2. A pitot-static tube connected to a manometer can be used to measure flow velocity by determining the difference between stagnation and static pressures.
3. For an orifice, the actual discharge is less than the theoretical discharge due to losses. The coefficient of discharge accounts for losses and is used to calculate actual flow rate.
