About this title

Synopsis

High-velocity flow measurement with vortex shedding meters offers accurate, low-pressure loss in demanding ducts.

This book describes developing vortex shedding flowmeters that can measure fluid flow in the ducts of the Space Shuttle Main Engines at velocities far beyond typical commercial meters, while keeping pressure loss manageable. It also covers how test setups compare to reference meters and how duct configuration and temperature or fluid properties affect performance.

The discussion walks through how these meters work, the challenges of installing them in tight, bent ducts, and the methods used to evaluate their signals. Test facilities include cryogenic and water setups, and the work emphasizes signal quality, spectrum analysis, and how flow conditions influence meter response. The study compares measurements in liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and water, highlighting how viscosity and temperature impact signal strength and stability.

Learn how vortex shedding meters convert shedder bar vibrations into electrical signals and how frequency spectra indicate performance.
See how duct geometry, including bends and straight sections, affects accuracy and pressure loss.
Understand the role of signal processing, including FFT analysis, in assessing meter stability and repeatability.
Explore test results across different fluids and bore sizes to gauge reliability and potential applications.

Ideal for readers of engineering texts on flow measurement and high-velocity fluid systems, this edition helps you evaluate whether this approach fits demanding propulsion and duct-flow scenarios.

Store Description

**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
