@Kp Vignesh.
Due to the sudden change in area of orifice, it has high losses.
And venturi area has gradually changes so less losses occurs.

Why orifice meter is more power losses than venturi meter? Explain the reason.

Due to the sudden change in the area there are more friction losses in orifice meter. As compare to venturi.

Because there is a sudden change in flow area in orifice meter.

Because discharge coefficient for venturimeter is 0.97 and for orifice it is 0.61.
