Abstract:
The article analyses the influence, relationship and value of the design parameters of the thermal flowmeter on its radial and axial heat fluxes in the tube. The purpose of the analyses is to check the change in the error of fuel flow measurement by the thermal flowmeter directly on the vehicle when using heating elements of different diameters. The influence of the radial heat flux of the flowmeter tube on the accuracy of fuel flow measurement is substantiated. Recommendations on the choice of design parameters of a thermal flowmeter at the stage of its design, development or use are developed under the condition of reducing the influence of the radial heat flow on the axial one, which will reduce the total error in the measurement of fuel flow rate.
