Adjutage

Adjutage refers to a device or tool used in fluid mechanics for measuring the velocity of a fluid (liquid or gas) flowing through a pipe or channel. It typically consists of a nozzle or tube that is inserted into the fluid stream and a pressure sensor that measures the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet of the nozzle.

The adjutage works on the principle of Bernoulli's equation, which relates the velocity of a fluid to its pressure and potential energy. By measuring the pressure difference across the nozzle, the adjutage can calculate the velocity of the fluid.

Adjutages are commonly used in engineering and scientific applications, such as in the design and testing of fluid systems, hydraulics, and aerodynamics. They may also be used in industrial applications for monitoring the flow rate of liquids and gases in pipes and channels.
