“…In hydraulics, the water flow velocity is considered one of the essential parameters of flow that should be determined with high accuracy to avoid tragic results that can cause operational and financial issues. In response to these questions and the increasing measurement trends, several methods were established to monitor the flow across numerous types of meters; devices are used to measure the mass, volumetric, linear, and nonlinear flow of liquid and gas flowing through a pipe or a tube [34,35,36,37].…”

Energy and water are crucial for humans in all their activities. In rural areas, irrigation is a surviving key where sustainable approaches like solar water pumping systems are required to meet this demand. One of the crucial challenges in the hydraulic field is the flow rate measurement with high accuracy. The exact estimation of the water flow rate pumped using a solar photovoltaic water pumping system is essential to evaluate the system's performance. This paper presents an analytical method to study a comparative analysis of the results of the system measurement errors. The experimental data are collected from our pumping system located in Adrar city (Algeria). The performance is analyzed using the measured water flow rate data using three different meters, one ultrasonic and two turbine meters, where a turbine meter is used as a standard meter. The test was done in May 2019. Keys words: PV pumping system, meter measurement, measurement accuracy, error calibration, ultrasonic flow meter, turbine flow meter.

Developing coalbed methane (CBM) aligns with global climate change policies and sustainable energy development. Currently, methods for testing gas and water production profiles in CBM wells are diverse. A downhole constant-flow thermal mass flowmeter (TMF) was designed to address the difficulty of testing gas production above the liquid level in low-yield CBM wells. A computational fluid dynamics model with a 125 mm diameter pipe was established to study the TMF’s temperature field and thermal equilibrium time as the gas flow rate changes. The relationship curve between temperature, thermal equilibrium time, and flow rate changes was obtained. The effect of the TMF’s installation angle and position in the wellbore on resolution was discussed. Experimental research on a multiphase flow simulation apparatus showed that the TMF has good response capability and testing accuracy in a gas environment. Measuring downhole flow rates using the thermal flow meters is feasible and meets the testing requirements of CBM wells.
