Abstract:Large deformation of an elastic hollow ellipsoid may be used as the mechanism of a flowmeter. It is seen as being inspired by human biology, when passing through fluid internally. The investigation on this potential was carried out where simply the relationships among pressure drop across an ellipsoid, deformation, flowrate and fluid viscosity were obtained. The elastic hollow ellipsoid was made from Silicone, which has a long axis of 0.05 m, a short axis of 0.03 m, and a wall thickness of 3.5 × 10−4 ± 4.6 × 1… Show more
