  Effect of Different Parameters on Energy Loss Coefficient of Square Edged Orifice Plate

  By Chirag R. Sanghani, Dharmesh C. Jayani

  Abstract: Orifice meter is a differential pressure type flow measuring device in which energy loss is a major problem. The energy loss coefficient is an important indicator of energy dissipation. In this paper, different parameters like contraction ratio, orifice plate thickness and Reynolds number were analyzed by numerical simulations using Ansys CFX 15.0 software for their effects on energy dissipation. Results of simulations revealed that, Reynolds number has negligible effect on …

  Optimization of Venturimeter Geometry for Minimum Pressure Drop using CFD Analysis

  By Chirag R. Sanghani, Dharmesh Jayani

  Abstract: A venturimeter is one of the accurate flow measurement devices used to measure volumetric flow rate based on differential pressure. Pressure recovery is a problem when flow measurement is done by venturimeter. So, it is necessary to select its geometrical parameters in such a way that minimum pressure loss occurs. In this paper, optimization of geometrical parameters of venturimeter for minimum pressure drop has been done using CFD analysis. For …
