Download or read book Research Instrumentation for Measurements of High Speed Separated Flows written by and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this instrumentation grant was to purchase equipment to be used in conjunction with an ongoing ARO-funded research grant entitled "Experimental Studies of High-Speed Separated Flows." The research efforts of this program are focused on experimental investigation of the fluid dynamic mechanisms and interactions within separated flow regions embedded in high-speed compressible flows. The fundamental objective is to improve understanding of the detailed flow processes in the near-wake of missile and projectile-type base flows with the long-term goal of optimizing and controlling these flows to derive flight vehicle performance benefits. The funds were used to repair the heads of two Nd:YAG lasers that are used heavily in particle image velocimetry, Rayleigh/Mie scattering, and planar laser-induced fluorescence (PLIF) experiments. These replacements/repairs will extend the lives of these lasers for at least 5 years. The department also used the equipment funds to purchase an intensified CCD array camera system that may be used for experiments with low signal levels (e.g., for ongoing acetone PLIF experiments). Finally, funds were used to purchase a state-of-the-art pressure transducer calibration dead-weight tester. In all cases, purchase of this equipment will help to maintain and strengthen the department's ability to make significant contributions to the research area of compressible, separated flows, which is of significant importance to the U.S. Army. The specific pieces of equipment, vendors, and purchase prices are detailed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A practical guide to cutting-edge techniques for flow measurement and control Unlike any other book on the subject, this volume employs practical applications to illustrate flow measurement techniques in industrial processes. Drawing on their work at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, five leading researchers present applications that test the limits of commercial flow instrumentation-in harsh environments, wide rangeability, and a host of challenging situations encountered in research and industry. This approach gives the reader highly effective tools for use in tackling a broad range of difficult flow measurement problems. It offers tremendous insight into what flow measurement is all about, from the underlying principles of the methodologies to state-of-the-art instrumentation-including such innovations as "smart" flow sensors. Introducing terminology, properties, units, and flow meters classification, the book: * Details signal conditioning and analysis techniques that will produce meaningful results * Offers tips on selecting the appropriate method for a given application * Shows how modeling can improve mass flow metering accuracy * Covers flow calibration and standards, as well as issues related to cost, maintenance, and ease-of-use of instruments * Addresses the effect of measurement uncertainty on calibration and field measurements. Clear, concise, and generously illustrated, Flow Measurement Methods and Applications is an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students in physics, mechanical engineering, chemical engineering, and instrument engineering. It is a must-have reference for anyone wishing to assess flow processes accurately and reliably in the real world.

Download or read book Flow Measurement Handbook written by Roger C. Baker and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-08-25 with total page 793 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flow Measurement Handbook is a reference for engineers on flow measurement techniques and instruments. It strikes a balance between laboratory ideas and the realities of field experience and provides practical advice on design, operation and performance of flowmeters. It begins with a review of essentials: accuracy, flow, selection and calibration methods. Each chapter is then devoted to a flowmeter class and includes information on design, application installation, calibration and operation. Among the flowmeters discussed are differential pressure devices such as orifice and Venturi, volumetric flowmeters such as positive displacement, turbine, vortex, electromagnetic, magnetic resonance, ultrasonic, acoustic, multiphase flowmeters and mass meters, such as thermal and Coriolis. There are also chapters on probes, verification and remote data access.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the growing interest in hypersonic flows, the AGARD Fluid Dynamics Panel initiated a sub-working group on instrumentation for hypersonics in 1989. This sub-group, chaired by J. WENDT (VKI -Belgium), was composed of: A. BOUTIER (ONERA -France), K. BUTEFISCH (DLR -Germany), R. CATTOLICA (SANDIA Lab. -USA), V. CLINE (AEDC -USA), A. GIRARD (ONERA -France), R. McKENZIE (NASA Ames -USA), S. OCHELTREE (NASA Langley -USA) and G. SMEETS (ISL -Franco-German Inst.). As a result of several meetings, the idea came to organize this workshop, 27th April - 1st May 1992, on "New Trends in Instrumentation for Hypersonic Research", at Le Fauga-Mauzac ONERA center, in France, where the new hot-shot arc-heated facility F4, as well as a new conference building, were recently completed. This workshop has been organized in close connection with the AGARD FDP Symposium to be held in Torino 4 - 8 May 1992 on "Theoretical and Experimental Methods in Hypersonic Flows": the main conclusions and ideas expressed by the papers and during the discussions of this workshop are reported in session 7 and have been presented in Torino in a special Instrumentation session. As chairman of this workshop, I express many thanks to the Organizing Committee composed of Karl BUTEFISCH, Andre GIRARD, Stewart OCHELTREE and John WENDT for their very constructive help, leading to a meeting that was recognized to be very fruitful for all the participants.
