Abstract
Steam, as a recyclable energy source, has a wide range of applications. The accurate measurement of steam flowrate is closely related to the selection and installation of steam flowmeters. Combining the advantages of differential pressure (DP) measurement and vortex street measurement methods, a vortex uniform velocity tube integrated sensor is designed in this paper. Based on the condensation weighing standard device of the national steam metering station, experimental measurements and performance verification are conducted on the sensor using superheated steam as the medium. The results show that the vortex uniform velocity tube integrated sensor designed in this study has a relative error(RE) of less than 1 % in measuring steam mass flow rate and steam density, and a repeatability of less than 0.7 %. This sensor can achieve high-precision measurement of steam under high temperature and high pressure.
期刊介绍：
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions.
FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
