Coriolis mass flowmeter

As shown in Fig. 1, when a particle of mass m moves in a pipe with angular velocity rotating on the P axis, the particle is accelerated by two components and its forceA. Normal acceleration is centripetal acceleration alpha r, whose magnitude is equal to_2r, and its direction is toward P axis; B. Tangential acceleration alpha t is Coriolis acceleration, whose magnitude is equal to 2_, and its direction is perpendicular to alpha R.Because of the compound motion, Coriolis Fc = 2_m is acted in the alpha t direction of the particle, and a force - Fc= - 2_m is acted on the particle by the pipeline. When a fluid with a density of Rho flows at a constant velocity in a rotating pipe, any length x pipe will be subjected to a tangential Coriolis force of Fc.
△FC=2ωpA△
Formula A - the flow area of the pipeline. Because the mass flowmeter flow rate is δm,δm=ρυA, so
Therefore, direct or indirect measurement of Coriolis force produced by flow fluid in rotating pipes can measure mass flow, which is the basic principle of Coriolis mass flowmeter.
However, it is difficult to generate Coriolis force by rotating motion. At present, products are replaced by pipeline vibration, that is, a thin-walled measuring tube fixed at two broken ends, which is stimulated by the resonance or near resonance frequency of the measuring tube at the midpoint. The fluid flowing in the tube generates Coriolis force, which makes the two halves of the measuring tube deflect in opposite directions, and is checked by electromagnetic method.Measure the deflection to get the mass flow rate.
Because the fluid density will affect the vibration frequency of the measuring tube, and the density has a fixed relationship with the frequency, so the mass flowmeter can also measure the fluid density.
