  2. Mass flow meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_meter

    The mass flow of a U-shaped Coriolis flow meter is given as: Q m = K u − I u ω 2 2 K d 2 τ {\displaystyle Q_{m}={\frac {K_{u}-I_{u}\omega ^{2}}{2Kd^{2}}}\tau } where K u is the temperature dependent stiffness of the tube, K is a shape-dependent factor, d is the width, τ is the time lag, ω is the vibration frequency, and I u is the inertia ...

  3. Flow measurement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    Sonar flowmeters have the capacity of measuring the velocity of liquids or gases non-intrusively within the pipe and then leverage this velocity measurement into a flow rate by using the cross-sectional area of the pipe and the line pressure and temperature. The principle behind this flow measurement is the use of underwater acoustics.

  4. Custody transfer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Custody_transfer

    Coriolis technology offers accuracy and reliability in measuring material flow, and is often hailed as among the best flow measurement technologies due to direct mass flow, fluid density, temperature, and precise calculated volume flow rates. Coriolis meters do not have any moving parts and provide long term stability, repeatability, and ...

  5. Thermal mass flow meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_mass_flow_meter

    Furthermore, a thermal mass flow meter can be built by measuring temperature differential across a silicon-based MEMS chip. Both types measure fluid mass flow rate by means of the heat convected from a heated surface to the flowing fluid. In the case of the thermal dispersion, or immersible, type of flow meter, the heat is transferred to the ...

  6. Flow conditioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_conditioning

    Figure (8) showing Coriolis meter. Flow conditioners make no effect on meter accuracy while using wet gas due to the annular flow regime, which is not highly affected by flow conditioners. In single-phase conditions, Coriolis meter gives accurate measurement even in presence of severe flow disturbances.

  7. Volume correction factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_Correction_Factor

    In thermodynamics, the Volume Correction Factor (VCF), also known as Correction for the effect of Temperature on Liquid (CTL), is a standardized computed factor used to correct for the thermal expansion of fluids, primarily, liquid hydrocarbons at various temperatures and densities. [1]

  8. Rossby number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossby_number

    The Rossby number (Ro), named for Carl-Gustav Arvid Rossby, is a dimensionless number used in describing fluid flow. The Rossby number is the ratio of inertial force to Coriolis force , terms | v ⋅ ∇ v | ∼ U 2 / L {\displaystyle |\mathbf {v} \cdot \nabla \mathbf {v} |\sim U^{2}/L} and Ω × v ∼ U Ω {\displaystyle \Omega \times \mathbf ...

  9. Coriolis frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriolis_frequency

    Thus the Coriolis parameter, , is the angular velocity or frequency required to maintain a body at a fixed circle of latitude or zonal region. If the Coriolis parameter is large, the effect of the Earth's rotation on the body is significant since it will need a larger angular frequency to stay in equilibrium with the Coriolis forces.
