Ultrasonic Flow Measurement with Integrated Temperature Measurement Compensation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Compensation for ultrasonic flow measurement has increasingly become the trend for applications that call for higher accuracy and tighter repeatability. Temperature is a variable that tends to have a significant impact on performance. Geometric dimension changes due to thermal expansion and contraction, as well as fluid dynamics, are impacted by temperature and thus have an influence on overall system accuracy. This paper presents a new method for measuring temperature by taking advantage of well characterized material properties that change with temperature and utilizing existing system capability. Integrated temperature measurement can be included as part of the diagnostic support package and used for compensation by using existing capability.

متن کاملA simple and novel method for acoustic streaming power measurement of ultrasonic horn
Ultrasonic horn with transfer of acoustic wave into an aqueous solution results in unique properties. When, transfer of sound wave into a liquid results in liquid movement in the direction of wave propagation which gradually loses its energy due to the viscous friction. This wave motion induces a flow which is known as acoustic streaming or micro-streaming. In this article, a simple innovative ...
