Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flow Rate Measurements by Flow Division and Separation Method
نویسنده
چکیده
In this chapter we shall introduce a new and practical method for two-phase flow rate measurement, which is known as flow division and separation method. As its name suggested, a two-phase flow is measured by diverting a small fraction of the total stream to a division loop and metering it with the separation means. This method has been developed in Xi’an jiaotong university since the end of last century, and extensively studied in laboratory, some of the meters have been successfully applied in engineering. At first we briefly introduce the flow division technique in single phase flow, then we discuss how this method can be used in gas-liquid two-phase flow measurements, further more we shall give three detail examples of this kind of two-phase flow meters.
