Calibrating a Smooth Contraction Flowmeter

Description

Mass conservation can be used to calibrate a smooth contraction as a flowmeter. The experiment uses a control volume, or CV, formulation. A control volume is a simplified region used to study the macroscopic effect of flow on an engineering system.

This approach focuses on the main mass exchange ...

Transcript

Conservatie van massa is een bekend fysisch principe dat wordt gebruikt in combinatie met de controlevolumebenadering voor de techniek van veel mechanische systemen. Controlevolume-analyse van massaconservering is bijzonder nuttig om stromingssnelheden voor grootschalige hydraulische structuren te schatten, zoals dammen, waterzuiveringsinstallat...
