This volume is an information-packed reference for engineers on flow measuring techniques and instruments. Striking a balance between laboratory ideal and the realities of field experience, this handy tool provides a wealth of practical advice on the design, operation, and performance of a broad range of flowmeters. The book begins with a brief review of fluid mechanics principles, how to select a flowmeter, and a variety of calibration methods. Each of the following chapters is devoted to a class of flowmeters and includes detailed information on design, applications, installation, calibration, operation, and advantages and disadvantages. Among the flowmeters discussed are orifice plate meters, venturi meter and standard nozzles, critical flow venturi nozzles, positive displacement flowmeters, turbine and related flowmeters, vortex shedding and fluidic flowmeters, electromagnetic flowmeters, ultrasonic flowmeters, and coriolis flowmeters. Also covered are mass flow measurements using multiple sensors, thermal flowmeters, angular momentum devices, probes, and modern control systems. Many chapters conclude with an appendix on the theory behind the techniques discussed. It will be a valuable reference for practicing engineers and will also be of interest to researchers in mechanical, chemical and aerospace engineering.

This book is aimed at the busy practitioner who is faced with a flow measurement problem, and requires enough information to assess the advice received from manufacturers and to contribute to discussions with experts. The previous editions of this book have been widely used for over 13 years. In this new edition, the author retains the succinctness of the earlier books by removing material that was of marginal value, and by referring readers who require more detailed information to other resources. This first U.S. edition, published by ASME Press, includes, ASME Code references, which were not included in previous British editions of the book.

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.

Physics

After thirty years of teaching, the author, a number theorist, has produced this one semester first course in linear algebra, not necessarily for math majors. Students will enjoy such a book that can be read from cover to cover in a semester; instructors will find every hoped-for result proved. Abstraction enters gradually. Students learn to use inner product in R^2, then R^3. Most of the work is done in R^n. In the last chapter, when students are ready, vector spaces, including C^n, appear. There are nice applications such as electrical circuits, Markov chains... All examples can be done by hand. No time lost learning software!

Now available in a new improved format, this second edition iscompletely revised and updated. An Introductory Guide to FlowMeasurement is an indispensable guide for the busy practisingengineer. It provides a ready source of information on flowmeters,their operation, installation, and relative advantages anddisadvantages in different applications.  This revised edition retains the succinct style of the original,with plenty of clear line diagrams and shading to highlight keypoints, it is comprehensive and easy-to-use. The material isbased on the author’s own lectures at Cranfield Institute ofTechnology, UK, but incorporates lessons learned through using thefirst edition as a teaching tool during the 13 years since itsfirst publication. It aims to transmit as much information aspossible, as efficiently as possible, in as short a time aspossible.Essential reading for any engineer faced with a flow measurementproblem – this book will enable the reader to assess advicereceived from manufacturers and contribute to discussions withexperts. Existing and new readers alike will welcome this updatedversion of the well established and highly regarded IntroductoryGuide to Flow Measurement. Key areas considered include,Accuracy; flow behavior, and fluid parametersCalibration techniquesSelectionMomentum flowmetersVolumetric flowmetersMass flowmetersProbes and tracersRecent developments and future trends
