Abstract:We have proposed a novel method of non-contact thermal type measurement for low flow rates using radiation heating and spectroscopy of water in the near-infrared wavelength range . We made a simulation for studying the performance of the flowmeter, and based on the simulation we conducted experiments using a prototype flowmeter. We obtained calibration curves between the estimated and true flow rates. From the experimental results , we can measure the flow rates from 0.3 to 9 ml/ min with the accuracy of about… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
