Choice between Flowmeters sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 4 Introduction (1) • Flow measurement is to quantify the rate of flow of materials. • It is quite a common requirement in the process industries. • The materials measured may be in a solid, liquid, or gaseous state. • Solid state: flow can only be qualified as the mass flow rate. • Mass flow rate: the mass of material that flows in one unit of time. • Liquid or gaseous state: flow can be qualified as either the mass flow rate or the volume flow rate. • Volume flow rate: the volume of material that flows in one unit of time. • Note: mass is invariant, whereas volume is a variable quantity. sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 5 Introduction (2) • A particular complication in the measurement of flow rate of liquids & gases flowing in pipes: the need to consider whether the flow is laminar or turbulent. • Laminar flow: – A motion of the fluid being in a direction parallel to the sides of the pipe. – It occurs in straight lengths of pipe when the fluid is flowing at a low velocity. – Note that even laminar flow is not uniform across the cross section of the pipe: the velocity is greatest at the center of the pipe, & decreases to zero immediately next to the wall of the pipe. • Turbulent flow: – A complex pattern of flow that is not in a uniform direction. – Occurs in nonstraight sections of pipe & also occurs in straight sections when the fluid velocity exceeds a critical value. – Difficult to measure. • The usual practice is to restrict flow measurement to places where the flow is laminar, or at least approximately laminar – Measure the flow in the center of a long, straight length of pipe if the flow velocity is below the critical value for turbulent flow. – If the mean fluid velocityLaminar is high, it is often possibleTurbulent to find somewhere within the flow path where a larger diameter pipe exists & therefore the flow velocity is lower. sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 6 Flow Measurement 1.

Choice between Flowmeters sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 7 Conveyor-Based Methods ConveyorSafetyDevices.html • Appropriate for measuring the flow of solids in the form of powders or small granular particles. • A conveyor is a very suitable means of transporting materials in this form. • Transporting materials on a conveyor allows the mass flow rate to be calculated in terms of the mass of material: Q = Mv/L – Q: the mass flow rate – M: the mass of material distributed over a length, L, of the conveyor – v: the velocity of the conveyor sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 8 Coriolis Flowmeter • Dominates the mass flowmeter market. • Consists either of a pair of parallel vibrating tube or as a single vibrating tube that is formed into a configuration that has two parallel sections. • Tubes are commonly made of stainless steel. ow_meter#Operating_principle_of_ • The two vibrating tubes deflect according to a_coriolis_flow_meter the mass flow rate of the measured fluid that is flowing inside: d = kfR – d: the net deflection – k: a constant – f: the frequency of the tube vibration – R: the mass flow rate • Excellent accuracy: ±0.2% • Low maintenance requirements • Expensive • Failure may occur after a period of use because of mechanical fatigue in the tube. • Tubes are also subject to corrosion. sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 9 Thermal Mass Flow Measurement • Used primarily to measure the flow rate of gases. • The principle of operation is to direct the flowing material past a heated element. • The mass flow rate is inferred in two ways: – by measuring the temperature rise in the flowing material, or – by measuring the heater power required to achieve a constant set temperature in the flowing material. • Inaccuracy: ±2% • Can measure very small flow rates: –9 10 liters per minute.

Choice between Flowmeters sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 11 Differential Pressure (Obstruction-Type) Meters (1) • Involve the insertion of some device into a fluid-carrying pipe. • This device causes an obstruction & creates a pressure difference on either side of the device. • Devices: orifice place, Venturi tube, flow nozzle, & Dall flow tube. • When such a restriction is placed in a pipe, the velocity of the fluid through the restriction increases & the pressure decreases. • The volume flow rate is proportional to the square root of the pressure difference across the obstruction. • The normal procedure is to use a differential pressure transducer, which is commonly a diaphragm-type device. • The pitot static tube: – Another device that measures flow by creating a pressure difference within a fluid-carrying pipe. – However, there is negligible obstruction of flow in the pipe. – The pitot tube is a very thin tube that obstructs only a small part of the flowing fluid & thus measures at a single point across the cross section of the pipe. sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 12 Differential Pressure (Obstruction-Type) Meters (2) engineering.com/restriction-orifice-ro- flow-control-instrument.html Orifice plate Segmental Orifice Plate sites.google.com/site/ncpdhbkhn 13 Differential Pressure (Obstruction-Type) Meters (3) • The orifice plate is a metal disc with a hole on it. • Inserted into the pipe carrying the flowing fluid. • Simple, inexpensive, available in a wide range of sizes. • Account for almost 50% of the instruments used in industry for measuring volume flow rate. • Problems: – Inaccuracy: at least ±2% – Permanent pressure loss: 50 to 90% of (P1 – P2) – A gradual change in the sharp edges of the hole: it wears away – Particles tend to stick behind the hole. • To minimize pressure loss: Venturi, flow nozzle, & Dall flow tube.
