EXM5 Experimental methods E181101 Flowrate Rudolf Žitný, Ústav procesní a zpracovatelské techniky ČVUT FS 2010 Some pictures and texts were copied from www.wikipedia.com EXM5 Flowrate measurement Rotameter Turbine Vortex flowmeters Nozzles Venturi, orifice Pitot tube (multihole tube) Ultrasound Coriolis Thermal Laser Doppler EXM5 Rotameter, Turbine Rotameter, floater and conical glass pipe. Position of floater is determined by the balance of forces: weight of floater = fluid forces. The higher is floater, the wider is the gap, therefore the lower are velocities and viscous friction. This flowmeter can be used not only for liquids, but also for gases (or inviscid fluids). In this case the fluid forces are not viscous, but inertial and can be derived from Bernoulli’s equation. What do you think is the purpose of these inclined grooves? Turbine (detector of pulses – flowrate proportional to frequency) 2 fD Q fD3 g ( ) f-frequency. g-viscous correction EXM5 Vortex, orifice Vortex flowmeters utilize the vortex shedding principle. The fluid strikes a bluff body, generating vortices (eddies) that move downstream. The vortices form alternately, from one side to the other. A piezoelectric sensor housed in a sensor tube directly downstream of the bluff senses the pressure zones created by the vortices. The sensor generates a frequency directly proportional to the vortices (flow). f Sr u D Strouhal’s number Sr=0.21 for cylinder of diameter D (holds for Re>10000) Look at more details about von Karman vortex street Nozzles, Venturi, orifice use the Bernoulli Equation to calculate the fluid flow rate by measuring the pressure difference through obstructions in the flow p p 1% accuracy, low pressure drop uk 2 p p 2%, pressure drop large (vena contracta) EXM5 Ultrasound flowmeters Transit time (without particles) expensive, accurate Measurements are made by sending bursts of signals through a pipe. Sound waves travelling in the direction of flow of the fluid require less time than when travelling in the opposite direction. The difference in transit times of the ultrasonic signals is an indication for the flow rate of the fluid. Since ultrasonic signals can also penetrate solid materials, the transducers can be mounted onto the outside of the pipe. t1 L L 2 Lu cos , t 2 , t 2 t1 2 c u cos c u cos c u 2 cos 2 L-length of beam, u-flow velocity, c-speed of sound (1500 m/s in water) Doppler effect (reflected wave by particles). Doppler frequency shift Doppler ultrasonic flowmeters operate on the Doppler shift principle, whereby the transmitted frequency is altered linearly by being reflected from particles and bubbles in the fluid. The net result is a frequency shift between transmitter and receiver frequencies that can be directly related to the flow velocity. Doppler meters require a minimum amount of solid particles or air in the line to achieve measurements. f 2u cos f c EXM5 UVP monitor (Ultrasound Velocity Profile) Ultrasound Doppler effect for measurement velocity profiles 1. Piezotransducer is transmitter as well as receiver of US pressure waves operating at frequency 4 or 8 MHz. 2. Short pulse of few (10) US waves is transmitted (repetition frequency 244Hz and more) and crystal starts listening received frequency reflected from particles in fluid. 3. Time delay of sampling (flight time) is directly proportional to the distance between the transducer and the reflecting particle moving with the same velocity as liquid. 4. Received frequency differs from the transmitted frequency by Doppler shift Δf, that is proportional to the component of http://biomechanika.cz particle velocity in the direction of transducer axis. PROBLEMS: 1. What is spatial resolution of velocity, knowing speed of sound in water (1400 m/s) and sampling frequency 8 MHz ? 2. Calculate flowrate in a circular pipe from recorded velocity profile (given angle ) EXM5 Electromagnetic flowmeters Magnetic flowmeters (electromagnetic or induction flowmeters), obtain the flow velocity by measuring the changes of induced voltage of the conductive fluid passing across a magnetic field. A typical magnetic flowmeter places electric coils around the pipe of the flow to be measured and sets up a pair of electrodes across the pipe wall. If the targeted fluid is electrically conductive, i.e., a conductor, its passing through the pipe is equivalent to a conductor cutting across the magnetic field. This induces changes in voltage reading between the electrodes. The higher the flow speed, the higher the voltage. u F Lorentz force acting on ion (charge q) moving with velocity u in magnetic field (magnetic induction B).

When an osillating excitation force is applied to the tube causing it to vibrate, the fluid flowing through the tube will induce a rotation or twist to the tube because of the Coriolis acceleration acting in opposite directions on either side of the applied force. This twist results in a phase difference (time lag) between the inlet side and the outlet side and this phase difference is directly affected by the mass passing through the tube. A more recent single straight tube design is available to measure some dirty and/or abrasive liquids. Vibration of Coriolis flowmeters has very samll amplitude, usually less than 2.5 mm, and the frequency is near the natural frequency of the device, usually around 80 Hz. The vibration is commonly introduced by electric coils and measured by magnetic sensors.
