Measurement of Fluid Pressure01:16

Measurement of Fluid Pressure

472
Fluid pressure is commonly measured using devices called manometers, which rely on liquid columns to indicate pressure differences. The height of a liquid column in a manometer reflects the pressure exerted by the fluid, providing a simple yet effective means of measurement. Different types of manometers serve specific purposes based on their configurations and the type of fluids involved.
A basic form of manometer is the piezometer, a vertical tube open at the top and filled with the same...

Pipe Flowrate Measurement01:28

Pipe Flowrate Measurement

1.0K
In pipe flow measurement, orifice, nozzle, and Venturi meters are commonly used to determine fluid flowrates by constricting the flow area, which increases fluid velocity and reduces pressure. This pressure difference, governed by Bernoulli's principle and adjusted for real-world conditions, is essential for calculating flowrate. Each meter type is suited to specific applications based on accuracy, efficiency, and compatibility with various flow conditions.
The orifice meter is a simple,...

    Area of Science:

    • Optoelectronics
    • Fluid Dynamics
    • Sensor Technology

    Background:

    • Traditional airflow measurement methods face limitations in precision and range.
    • Wind tunnel testing requires accurate differential pressure sensing for aerodynamic analysis.
    • Fiber-optic sensors offer advantages in harsh environments and remote sensing applications.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose and demonstrate a differential-pressure fiber-optic airflow (DPFA) sensor for wind tunnel testing.
    • To integrate the DPFA sensor with a Pitot tube for airspeed indication.
