Abstract: Usual means for sensing temperature in a gaseous flow carrying suspended liquid droplets invariably yield the liquid temperature only. In this paper, we discuss a probe configuration which ...

Abstract: In this paper we are concerned with the degree of approximation made when various common parameters involved in an isentropic, compressible fluid flow are evaluated from incompressible relations. ...

Abstract: A fluid meter discharge coefficient is developed which is based solely on boundary layer parameters. It is applicable to both pipe and plenum inlet installations. Comparisons are made between ...

Abstract: After a brief historical review of the pertinent literature, expressions are developed which approximate the compressible contraction coefficient of any orifice in any installation for both subsonic ...

Abstract: General expressions are developed which approximate the expansion factor of any orifice in any installation for both subsonic and supercritical flows. These factors are based on a presumed ...

Abstract: A first-order, first-degree, linear expression is developed to describe the transient behavior of a practical pressure-sensing system. The development is in terms of usual fluid-flow parameters. ...

Abstract: A generalized equation is derived which describes the loss coefficient for any differential pressure type fluid meter. This loss coefficient is given in terms of dimensionless factors including: ...
