    Venturi has a throat area ratio of 0.85.We need to calculate here the maximum vacuum obtainable in the reservoir when the venturi is placed in an airstream of \(90\;m/s\).

    \[P_{1}-P_{2}=\frac{1}{2}\rho V_{1}^{2}\left [ \left ( \frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}} \right )^{2}-1 \right ]
    \\=\frac{1}{2}\left ( 1.23 \right )\left ( 90 \right )^{2}\left [ \left ( \frac{1}{0.85} \right )^{2}-1 \right ]
    \\=1913\;N/m^{2}\]
