1-A lobed-impeller flow meter is used for measurement of the flow of

nitrogen at 150kPa and 310K. The meter has been calibrated so that it
indicates the volumetric flow with an accuracy of 0.5% from 0.5 to
1.5m3/s. The uncertainties in the gas pressure and temperature
measurements are 175Pa and 0.5C, respectively. Calculate the
uncertainty in a mass flow measurement at the given pressure and
temperature conditions.

Do it need a better degree of precision for pressure and temperature

measurements?

2-An orifice with pressure taps one diameter upstream and one-half
diameter downstream is installed in 50mm diameter pipe and used to
measure a maximum flow rate of water of 3.2L/s at 21C. For this
orifice, b = 0.5. The differential pressure gage has an accuracy 0.25
percent of full scale, and the upper scale limit is selected to correspond
to the maximum flow rate. Determine the range of the pressure gage
and the uncertainty in the flow rate measurements at nominal flow
rates of 3.2L/s and 1.6L/s. Assume that the uncertainty in the flow
coefficient is 0.002

6- An open-ended
tube probe is yawed
at an angle of 30
from the flow
direction in an
airstream at 82kPa
and 5C having a free-
stream velocity of
25m/s. Calculate the pressure indicated by the probe.

7-A pitot tube is inserted in a flow stream of air at 30C and 1.0atm.
The dynamic pressure is measured as 1.12 inch of water when the
tube is oriented parallel to the flow. Calculate the flow velocity at
that point

9- A venture is to be used for measuring the flow of air at 20bar and

300K. The maximum flow rate is 0.4536kg/s. The minimum flow rate
is 30 percent of this value. Determine the size of the venture such
that the throat Reynolds number is not less than 105. Calculate the
differential pressure across the venture for mass flows of 30, 50, 70,
100% of maximum flow rate. Assume b = 0.5 for venturi, m = 1.884
x 10-5 kg/m.s.

Work the above problem for an orifice with pressure taps one
diameter upstream and one-half diameter downstream.

Work the above problem for an ASME long-radius flow nozzle.

 10-The turbine flowmeter whose calibration is shown in the figure
is to measure a nominal flow rate of water of 2.5 gpm at 60F. A single
value of the meter constant K is to be used in the data reduction. What
deviations from the nominal flow rate are allowable in order that the
nominal value of K is Accurate within 0.25 percent

11-A rotameter is to be designed to measure a maximum flow of

10 gpm of water at 70F. The bob has a 1-in diameter and a total
volume of 1 in3. The bob is constructed so that the density is given in
accordance to rb=2rf. The total length of the rotameter tube is 13 in
and the diameter of the tube at inlet is 1 in. Determine the tube taper
for drag coefficients of 0.4, 0.8, and 1.2. Plot the flow rate versus
distance from the entrance of the tube for each of these drag
coefficients
