MEASUREMENTS OF UNSTEADY FLOW PARAMETERS IN PIPE-RECEIVER AND PIPE-TURBOCHARGER SYSTEMS
Journal Title: Metrology and Measurement Systems - Year 2006, Vol 13, Issue 1
Abstract
In the paper, the characteristic features of an unsteady flow in two systems: a high-volume pipe-receiver and a pipe-turbine are described. The tests were made under the conditions of a pulsating pipe supply in the range of frequencies 20-100 Hz. The following measurements of instantaneous values of unsteady flow parameters were made: pressure (piezoresistive transducers), temperature (Constant Current Thermometer) and velocity (Constant Temperature Anemometer). The applied measurement methods - owing to good dynamic properties of transducers - permitted us to gather relatively rich and complete information on flow phenomena in such systems. It was shown that the pipe-receiver system behaved as a resonator with a marked range of amplitude amplification and a distinct relationship between the resonance frequency and the pipe length. In this system, an effect of high pressure signal attenuation along the pipe and a reverse flow were observed as well. On the other hand, the pipe-turbine system is free of characteristic resonance frequencies and the pressure signal is transmitted along the pipe up to the turbine inlet section practically without any changes.
