Flow Model Venturi

AI Thread Summary

The discussion focuses on calculating air flow through a venturi using differential pressure, highlighting the use of the Bernoulli equation. Participants seek reliable methods for determining correction factors such as discharge coefficients. References to ASME MFC-3M and the ASME report on fluid meters are mentioned as valuable resources for accurate calculations. The importance of these correction factors in achieving precise flow measurements is emphasized. Overall, the conversation aims to enhance understanding of venturi flow modeling and its practical applications.

Looking for a good model for calculating air flow through a venturi from the differential pressure. I know about using the Bernoulli equation. What I'm looking for is a reliable method for calculating the correction factors (discharge coefficients, etc)

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
