Thermal analysis of various duct cross sections using altair hyperworks softwaresushil Choudhary
In this work thermal analysis and comparison of various duct cross sections is done computationally using Altair
Hyperworks Software. Simple Analytical results were obtained for conduction and convection through the ducts
which can be used to build up thermal circuit. The inner surface of all ducts is maintained at constant
temperature and ambient air is at certain temperature that is less than inner surface temperature of pipe. Due to
temperature difference heat will flow from higher temperature to lower temperature. Due to temperature
difference heat will flow from higher temperature to lower temperature. The material of pipe provides
conductive resistance and air provides convective resistance. Hence this is a mix mode of heat transfer. The heat
transfer takes place in one dimension only and properties are considered to be isotropic. The ducts are assumed
to be made of aluminium having known thermal conductivity and density. The surroundings of ducts have
known convective heat transfer coefficient and temperature. The results are obtained on hyperview which are for
heat flux, temperature gradient and grid temperature. The different characteristics can be obtained by varying the
material of the ducts.

The performance of flowmeters is also influenced by a dimensionless unit called the
Reynolds Number. It is defined as the ratio of the liquid's inertial forces to its drag
forces.
The Reynolds number is used for determined whether a flow is laminar or turbulent.
Laminar flow within pipes will occur when the Reynolds number is below the critical
Reynolds number of 2300 and turbulent flow when it is above 2300. The value of 2300
has been determined experimentally and a certain range around this value is considered
the transition region between laminar and turbulent flow.

Working Principle
Reluctance
The coil is a permanent magnet and the turbine blades are made of a material attracted to
magnets. As each blade passes the coil, a voltage is generated in the coil. Each pulse
represents a discrete volume of liquid. The number of pulses per unit volume is called the
meter's K-factor.
Inductance
A permanent magnet is embedded in the rotor, or the blades of the rotor are made of
permanently magnetized material. As each blade passes the coil, it generates a voltage pulse.
In some designs, only one blade is magnetic and the pulse represents a complete revolution of
the rotor.
Capacitive
Capacitive sensors produce a sine wave by generating an RF signal that is amplitude-modulated
by the movement of the rotor blades.
Hall-Effect
Hall-effect transistors also can be used. These transistors change their state when they are in
the presence of a very low strength (on the order of 25 gauss) magnetic field.

The operation of magnetic flow meters is based on Faraday's law of
electromagnetic induction. Magflow meters can detect the flow of conductive
fluids only. Early magflow meter designs required a minimum fluidic conductivity
of 1-5 microsiemens per centimeter for their operation. The newer designs have
reduced that requirement a hundredfold to between 0.05 and 0.1.

25. September 23, 200425
The magnetic flow meter’s coil can be powered by either alternating or direct
current.
In AC excitation, line voltage is applied to the magnetic coils and as a result, the
flow signal (at constant flow) will also look like a sine wave. The amplitude of the
wave is proportional to velocity. Addition to the flow signal, noise voltages can be
induced in the electrode loop. Out-of-phase noise is easily filtered, but in-phase
noise requires that the flow be stopped (with the pipe full) and the transmitter
output set to zero. The main problem with ac magflow meter designs is that noise
can vary with process conditions and frequent re-zeroing is required to maintain
accuracy.
And as for DC excitation designs, a low frequency (7-30 Hz) dc pulse is used to
excite the magnetic coils. When the coils are pulsed on the transmitter reads both
the flow and noise signals. In between pulses, the transmitter sees only the noise
signal. Therefore, the noise can be continuously eliminated after each cycle.

Electromagnetic
26. September 23, 200426
Today, DC excitation is used in about 85% of installations while AC types
claim the other 15% when justified by the following conditions:
• When air is entrained in large quantities in the process stream.
• When the process is slurry and the solid particle sizes are not uniform.
• When the solid phase is not homogeneously mixed within the liquid.
• When the flow is pulsating at a frequency under 15 Hz.

The principle of angular momentum can be best described by Newton’s 2nd
Law of angular
motion and the definitions using these following notations:
Newton’s 2nd
Law of angular motion states that
γ = Iα and defines that H = Iω and since by definition I = mr2
Then γ = mr2
α and then H = mr2
ω
Since α = ω/t then becomes γ = mr2 *
ω/t and solving mass flow rate, m/t we get
m/t = γ/r2
ω also divide H = mr2
ω by t then H/t = m/t * r2

Positive displacement meters provide high accuracy, ±0.1% of actual flow rate in
some cases and good repeatability as high as 0.05% of reading. Accuracy is not
affected by pulsating flow unless it entrains air or gas in the fluid. PD meters do not
require a power supply for their operation and do not require straight upstream and
downstream pipe runs for their installation. Typically, PD meters are available 1” up
to 12” in size and can operate with turndowns as high as 100:1, although ranges of
15:1 or lower are much more common. Slippage in the flowmeter is reduced and
metering accuracy is therefore increased as the viscosity of the process fluid
increases.
The process fluid must be clean. Particles greater than 100 microns in size must be
removed by filtering. PD meters operate with small clearances between their
precision-machined parts; wear rapidly destroys their accuracy. For this reason, PD
meters are generally not recommended for measuring slurries or abrasive fluids. In
clean fluid services, however, their precision and wide rangeability make them ideal
for custody transfer and batch charging. They are most widely used as household
water meters. Millions of such units are produced annually at a unit cost of less
than US$50. In industrial and petrochemical applications, PD meters are commonly
used for batch charging of both liquids and gases.

37. September 23, 200437
Vortex shedding frequency is directly proportional to the velocity of the fluid in the pipe and
therefore to volumetric flow rate. The shedding frequency is independent of fluid properties such
as density, viscosity, conductivity, etc., except that the flow must be turbulent for vortex shedding
to occur. The relationship between vortex frequency and fluid velocity is:
St = f (d/v)
Q = AV = (AfdB)/St

38. September 23, 200438
The value of the Strouhal number is determined experimentally, and is generally
found to be constant over a wide range of Reynolds numbers. The Strouhal number
represents the ratio of the interval between vortex shedding (l) and bluff body width
(d), which is about six. The Strouhal number is a dimensionless calibration factor
used to characterize various bluff bodies. If their Strouhal number is the same, then
two different bluff bodies will perform and behave similarly.

Ultrasonic waves travel in the same manner as light or microwaves however being an
Elastic waves, they can propagates through any substance like solid, liquid and
gases. And by utilizing the properties of ultrasonic waves, clamp on flowmeters with
unique feature of being able to measure fluid flow in the pipe externally was
developed.
Generally, ultrasonic flowmeters works in 2 different kind of principles:
1) Doppler Effect Ultrasonic Flowmeter
The Doppler Effect Ultrasonic Flowmeter uses reflected ultrasonic
sound to measure the fluid velocity. By measuring the frequency shift
between the ultrasonic frequency source, the receiver and the fluid
carrier. In this the relative motion are measured. The resulting
frequency shift is named the ”Doppler Effect”.
2) Transit Time Difference Ultrasonic Flowmeter
With the Time of Flight Ultrasonic Flowmeter the time for the sound to
travel between a transmitter and a receiver is measured. This method
is not dependable on the particles in the fluid.
