K V Santhosh: Fusion of Venturi and Ultrasonic Flow Meter for Enhanced Flow Meter Characteristics Using Fuzzy Logic

This paper proposes a technique for measurement of liquid flow using venturi and ultrasonic flow meter(UFM) to have following objectives a) to design a multi-sensor data fusion (MSDF) architecture for using both the sensors, b) improve sensitivity and linearity of venturi and ultrasonic flow meter and c) detect and diagnosis of faults in sensor if any. Fuzzy logic algorithm is used to fuse outp...

Numerical modeling of three-phase flow through a Venturi meter using the LSSVM algorithm

One of the challenging problems in the Oil & Gas industry is accurate and reliable multiphase flow rate measurement in a three-phase flow. Application of methods with minimized uncertainty is required in the industry. Previous developed correlations for two-phase flow are complex and not capable of three-phase flow. Hence phase behavior identification in different conditions to designing and mo...

Comparison of the new miniature Wright peak flow meter with the standard Wright peak flow meter.

Preproduction and current models of the miniature Wright peak flow meter have been compared with the standard Wright peak flow meter on normal and abnormal subjects. Early problems in production appear to have been overcome, and the current model agrees to within 3% with the standard peak flow meter, which is as close as the agreement between two standard instruments. The new mini-meter may be ...

Water Velocity Measurements in Open Channels Using Volumetric Current Meter (VCM)

An innovative Volumetric Current Meter (VCM) was designed in order to allow quick velocity measurements in open channels. At first, the coefficient of velocity (Cv) of the device was determined through calibration under different water velocities in the laboratory. The measurement performance was verified by measurements performed in similar flows in irrigation channels using an ordinary curren...
