Q1) Air flows at 20°C through a 6cm pipe. A square-edged orifice plate with the diameter ratio, β=0.4 is choosen to meter the flow rate. A pressure drop of 250cm H2O is measured at the flange taps with an upstream pressure of 93.7 kPa absolute. Take discharge coefficient C , as 0.60±1.0% . Assume that dimensions are known to within 0.025mm, the systematic uncertainty in pressure is 0.25cm H2O and the pressure drop shows a standard deviation of 0.5cm in 20 readings. Upstream pressure is constant. In the flow measurement, determine the followings; a) The flow rate.

Question

Q1) Air flows at 20°C through a 6cm pipe. A square-edged orifice plate with the diameter ratio, β=0.4 is choosen to meter the flow rate.

A pressure drop of 250cm H2O is measured at the flange taps with an upstream pressure of 93.7 kPa absolute. Take discharge coefficient C , as

0.60±1.0% . Assume that dimensions are known to within 0.025mm, the systematic uncertainty in pressure is 0.25cm H2O and the pressure drop shows a standard deviation

of 0.5cm in 20 readings. Upstream pressure is constant. In the flow measurement, determine the followings;

a) The flow rate.

b) The systematic uncertainty

c) The random uncertainty

d) The total uncertainty
