Discharge Coefficients

The present work is concerned a comparative study of the decay of swirling turbulent pipe flow downstream of three flow conditioners, the Etoile, the Tube bundle, and the Laws perforate plate, and its effect on accuracy of orifice plate flow meter. The swirl was generated by a double 90° degrees elbows in perpendicular planes. The discharge coefficients were measured with 3 different orifice meters with β = 0.5, 0.62, 0.70 at different Reynolds number. As a conclusion, the experimental study of the three flow conditioners used separately shows that the flow need longer distance for close to fully developed pipe flow and some errors, by reason of the swirl, on the discharge coefficient were inevitable for distance less 12D.

Low Reynolds

In view of the importance of accurate measurement of flow rate at low Reynolds numbers, there have been numerous attempts to develop metering devices having constant discharge coefficients in the range of pipe Reynolds numbers between about 3000 and 200 and even below this latter value, and some of these attempts have achieved a reasonable degrees of success. Nevertheless, some confusion exists regarding the dimensions and range of utility of certain designs which have been recommended and further information is necessary in order that the situation may be clarified. The aims of the present investigation, which is believed to be wider in scope than any published in this field in recent years, were to review and correlate existing knowledge and to make an experimental study of the properties of various types of orifice in the low range of Reynolds numbers. Arising from this it was hoped that a design might be evolved which not only had a satisfactorily constant discharge coefficient throughout the range but was also simple to manufacture and reproduce, even for small orifice diameters of the order of 0.5 in or less, and it is believed that some success in attaining this aim was achieved. The first section of the paper contains a review of previous investigations classified into three main groups. In the second part of the paper, experiments with various types of orifice plate are described and it is shown that a properly proportioned single-bevelled orifice has as good a performance in the low Reynolds number range as that of any of the more complicated shapes.

Illumination Mode

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.
