Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
Factors that affect the selection and use of flow meter
Answer to Problem 1RQ
Range, Accuracy, pressure loss, type of indication, type of fluid, calibration
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Flow meter is used to measure the velocity of the flow, volume flow rate through the section, mass flow rate of liquids. These are widely used in industrial process so its selection has to be done considering few parameters which minimize the errors in measurement. Various types of flow meters are selected and used in industrial application based certain factors.
Following factors that affect the selection and use of flow meter
- Range
- Accuracy required
- Pressure loss
- Type of indication
- Type of fluid
- Calibration
Conclusion:
The above are the major factor which are considered for selection and use of different types of flow meter.

A program to make the part depicted in Figure 26.A has been created, presented in figure 26.B, but some information still needs to be filled in. Compute the tool locations, depths, and other missing information to present a completed program. (Hint: You may have to look up geometry for the center drill and standard 0.5000 in twist drill to know the required depth to drill).
We consider a laminar flow induced by an impulsively started infinite flat
plate. The y-axis is normal to the plate. The x- and z-axes form a plane parallel
to the plate. The plate is defined by y = 0. For time t <0, the plate and the flow
are at rest. For t≥0, the velocity of the plate is parallel to the 2-coordinate;
its value is constant and equal to uw. At infinity, the flow is at rest. The flow
induced by the motion of the plate is independent of z.
(a) From the continuity equation, show that v=0 everywhere in the flow and
the resulting momentum equation is
მu
Ət
Note that this equation has the form of a diffusion equation (the same form as
the heat equation).
(b) We introduce the new variables T, Y and U such that
T=kt, Y=k/2y, U = u
where k is an arbitrary constant. In the new system of variables, the solution
is U(Y,T). The solution U(Y,T) is expressed by a function of Y and T and the
solution u(y, t) is expressed by a function of y and t. Show that the functions are
identical.…
