Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flow measurement in industry, and more particularly to an apparatus and method for measuring the friction coefficient of a fluid in a hydraulically smooth region. Background Technology

[0002] In open channels or pipelines, when using formulas to calculate flow rate, the friction coefficient is a fixed value when the fluid is in steady flow. However, when the fluid flow is turbulent, the friction coefficient is the only parameter that cannot be directly measured. The friction coefficient in the smooth and transitional regions of turbulent flow is highly dependent on the Reynolds number of the fluid or the roughness of the pipe material. Pipelines offer high transportation efficiency and minimal environmental impact, and are widely used in urban water supply, agricultural irrigation, and inter-regional water transfer in water conservancy and industry. The appropriate selection of hydraulic calculation formulas and friction coefficients for pipelines is crucial for fluid transport engineering design. Commonly used hydraulic calculation formulas and corresponding friction coefficients in existing standards and engineering designs include: the Darcy-Weissbar formula and the Darcy friction coefficient λ, and the Heisenberg-Williams formula and the Heisenberg-Williams coefficient C. h The Chezy-Manning formula and the Manning roughness coefficient n are crucial factors. Therefore, when using mathematical models for hydraulic calculations, the friction coefficient is one of the three important calculation parameters. If the friction coefficient is an estimated value or obtained by looking up a table, it will differ significantly from the actual flow state, leading to a significant reduction in the accuracy of the calculated flow rate. If the flow rate prediction error is large, applying this predicted flow rate in practical engineering applications will result in serious safety accidents or huge economic losses. However, existing domestic standards provide a wide range of friction coefficient values ​​and do not comprehensively consider the factors affecting the friction coefficient, making it difficult to accurately determine the friction coefficient in engineering design, especially for large-diameter water pipelines, resulting in significant errors in the hydraulic calculations of some projects.

[0003] In the hydraulically smooth region, the friction coefficient is only related to the Reynolds number of the fluid, which is influenced by velocity. Changes in velocity will lead to changes in the Reynolds number, resulting in significant errors when calculating fluid flow rate using a fixed Reynolds number. Flow rate, like temperature and pressure, is a crucial parameter in industrial production. These parameters are used to monitor and control production processes, which is a vital standard for ensuring production safety. In China, most calculations of the friction coefficient are based on Nikolai's 1933 experiment with artificially roughened tubes. The influencing factors of the friction coefficient vary in different hydraulic resistance regions. While current Chinese design codes provide formulas for calculating pipeline pressure drop, they do not specify the selection of the friction coefficient λ, requiring designers to choose it based on measured data or practical experience. Currently, there are over 100 formulas for calculating the friction coefficient, with significant differences in their applicable conditions and acquisition methods. Based on the above, this invention provides an apparatus and method for measuring the friction coefficient of fluid in a hydraulically smooth region in a non-full pipe. This apparatus and method can effectively solve the problem of not being able to accurately obtain the friction coefficient in a hydraulically smooth region, and provide accurate basic parameters for fluid flow calculation models based on the friction coefficient.

[0004] The present invention provides a device and method for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region, which can be applied to fields such as petroleum engineering, water conservancy engineering, and urban heating. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the friction coefficient required for calculating the flow rate of a non-full pipe fluid using the Manning formula cannot be accurately determined. To this end, an apparatus for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region has been invented, and based on this apparatus, a method for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region is proposed.

[0006] The present invention provides a device for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region, the structure of which mainly includes: a fluid circulation system (1, 5, 6, 7, 8), a plastic ball delivery system (2), a liquid level monitoring device (3), and a data processing and display device (9).

[0007] The fluid circulation system consists of a circulation pump (1), an inclined pipe (5), a water storage tank (7), and a return pipe (6). The fluid to be tested (8) is circulated in the inclined pipe (5), the water storage tank (7), and the return pipe (6) by the circulation pump (1).

[0008] The plastic ball delivery system (2) includes plastic balls (4), a ball storage box (12) and a timed delivery device (13). The timed delivery device (13) delivers the plastic balls (4) in the ball storage box (12) into the inclined tube (5) at the same interval.

[0009] The liquid surface flow section monitoring device (3) obtains the time it takes for the plastic ball (4) to travel from the section where the timed dispenser (13) is located to the section where the liquid surface flow section monitoring device (3) is located by monitoring the non-full pipe flow liquid surface state of the section. It calculates the flow velocity of the fluid particles in the inclined pipe (5) by combining the distance between the two sections, and then combines the monitored fluid hydraulic radius to realize the measurement of the volume flow velocity of the fluid flowing through the inclined pipe (5).

[0010] The data processing and display device (9) processes the signals transmitted from the plastic ball delivery system (2) and the liquid surface flow section monitoring device (3), and combines the input fluid density ρ and viscosity μ to calculate the flow velocity v of the fluid particles in the non-full pipe, the height h of the non-full pipe flow liquid surface to the highest pipe wall in the inclined pipe, the Reynolds number Re of the fluid to be measured, and the friction coefficient λ of the non-full pipe fluid in the hydraulically smooth region, and displays the above input parameters and calculation results on the digital display.

[0011] Furthermore, the fluid circulation system includes a circulation pump (1), an inclined pipe (5), a storage tank (8), and a return pipe (6); the circulation pump (1) is connected to the inclined pipe (5), the inclined pipe (5) is connected to the storage tank (8), the bottom opening of the storage tank (8) is connected to the return pipe (6), and the return pipe is then connected to the circulation pump (1). The fluid to be tested (8) is circulated in the inclined pipe (5), the storage tank (8), and the return pipe (6) by the circulation pump (1).

[0012] Furthermore, the plastic ball dispensing system (2) includes a plastic ball (4), a ball storage box (12), and a timed dispenser (13); the plastic ball (4) is stored in the ball storage box (12), the ball storage box (12) is connected to the timed dispenser (13), and the timed dispenser (13) is connected to the slot at the top of the inclined tube (5) by a plastic ball dispenser fixing screw (14) to realize the dispensing of plastic balls (4) to the inclined tube (5) at the same interval time. The signal of the timed dispenser (13) dispensing plastic balls is transmitted to the data processing and display device (9) through the plastic ball dispensing signal data line (10).

[0013] Furthermore, the liquid level monitoring device (3) is an ultrasonic sensor (16) capable of monitoring fluid interface characteristics, an ultrasonic sensor protective shell (15), a liquid level monitoring signal data line (11), and a liquid level monitoring device fixing screw (17). The liquid level monitoring device (3) is installed on the inclined tube (5) by the liquid level monitoring device fixing screw (17). The ultrasonic sensor (16) monitors the plastic ball (4) flowing through the grooved section of the inclined tube (5) and the hydraulic radius of the fluid, and transmits the monitoring signal to the data processing and display device (9) through the liquid level monitoring signal data line (11). The movement time of the plastic ball (4) from the section where the timed dispenser (13) is located to the section of the ultrasonic sensor (16) is determined by combining the plastic ball release time.

[0014] Furthermore, this device, combined with this method, can constitute a method for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region, including the following steps:

[0015] S1: Measure the density ρ of the fluid to be tested (8), the viscosity μ of the fluid to be tested (8), and the inner diameter d of the inclined tube (5).

[0016] S2: Inject the fluid to be tested (8) into the storage tank (7), and use the circulation pump (1) to draw the fluid to be tested (8) into the fluid circulation system at a certain flow rate for more than 5 minutes. Start the plastic ball delivery system (2) to deliver plastic balls (4) at the same interval. When the liquid level monitoring device (3) monitors the plastic balls (4) and the time interval is the same, it is determined that the liquid flow rate is stable. After stopping the delivery of plastic balls (4), the liquid level monitoring device (3) measures the height of the non-full pipe liquid level to the highest pipe wall of the inclined pipe (5) and records it as h. Calculate the cross-sectional area A of the inclined pipe (5) using formula (1).

The length from the section where timed launcher (13) is located to the section monitored by ultrasonic sensor (16) is recorded as l. Plastic ball (4) flows with the fluid to be tested (8) in inclined tube (5). The moving speed of plastic ball (4) is the flow speed of fluid particles in non-full tube, v. v is calculated by formula (4).

[0028] S6: The Reynolds number of the fluid (8) to be tested in the inclined tube (5) is calculated by formula (5).

[0029]

[0030] In the formula, Re is the Reynolds number of the fluid to be measured, which is dimensionless; ρ is the density of the fluid to be measured (8), in kg / m³. 3 μ is the viscosity of the fluid to be tested (8), in Pa·s.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

For clarity, the dimensions of some parts are appropriately exaggerated in the drawings; for distinction, the areas filled with dashed lines represent fluids.

[0045] like Figure 1As shown, this invention provides a device and method for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region. A circulating pump (1) adjusts the fluid discharge during circulation and is tightly connected to an inclined pipe (5), a storage tank (7), and a return pipe (6) to form a complete fluid circulation system. A plastic ball dispensing system (2) is tightly connected to the slotted top section of the inclined pipe (5) to store and control the release of only one ball at a time. The plastic ball (4) is released by the plastic ball dispensing system (2), and the time of dispensing the plastic ball (4) is recorded as t1. When the plastic ball (4) flows through the cross-section monitored by the ultrasonic sensor (16), the time measured by the liquid level monitoring device (3) is recorded as t2. The distance from the plastic ball dispensing system (2) to the liquid level monitoring device (3) is recorded as l. The velocity v of the plastic ball (4) is calculated using l, t1, and t2. Treating v as the velocity of a non-full pipe fluid particle, the Reynolds number of the fluid can be obtained, and the friction coefficient of the fluid in the smooth region of water can be calculated. A physical diagram of the device is shown below. Figure 6 .

[0046] This example also discloses a method for measuring and calculating the coefficient of friction of a fluid. Taking pure water as an example, the method includes the following steps:

[0047] 1. Measure the density of the liquid to be tested as 1000 kg / m³. 3 Viscosity 0.00298 Pa·s, pipe inner diameter 0.2 m.

[0048] 2. After circulating the fluid for 5 minutes at a fixed displacement using the circulating pump (1) to stabilize the fluid flow, the liquid level height h is measured using the ultrasonic sensor (16) and recorded as 0.07m. The cross-sectional area A of the guide channel is calculated as 0.0266m² using formula (1). 2 .

[0049] 3. The wetted perimeter length C on the flow cross section is calculated to be 0.396m using formula (2).

[0050] 4. The hydraulic radius r of the flowing fluid is calculated to be 0.0672m using formula (3).

[0051] 5. Plastic ball (4) is launched through plastic ball launching system (2). The time of launching plastic ball (4) is recorded as t1 = 13.43s. The liquid level monitoring device (3) detects the rise of the liquid level. It is then determined that the plastic ball (4) has passed the monitoring section of the liquid level monitoring system. The time is recorded as t2 = 15.01s. The length from the section of the timed launcher (13) to the monitoring section of the ultrasonic sensor (16) is recorded as l = 1.45m. The plastic ball (4) flows with the fluid to be tested (8) in the inclined tube (5). The moving speed v of the plastic ball (4) is the flow speed v of the non-full tube fluid particles. v is calculated by formula (4) and v = 0.918m / s.

[0052] 6. The Reynolds number of the fluid (8) to be tested in the inclined tube (5) is calculated by formula (5), Re = 41406.553.

[0053] 7. The friction coefficient λ of non-full pipe fluid in the hydraulically smooth region is calculated using formula (6), λ=0.0218.

[0054] 8. The above calculation process is automatically processed and calculated by the data processing and display device (9). In the data processing and display device, the inner diameter d of the inclined tube (5) and the length l from the section where the timed dispenser (13) is located to the section monitored by the ultrasonic sensor (16) are inherent parameters of the device. The height h of the liquid surface of the non-full pipe to the highest pipe wall, the release time t1 of the plastic ball (4) and the monitoring time t2 of the plastic ball by the ultrasonic sensor (16) are the equipment monitoring data. The density ρ and viscosity μ of the fluid to be tested (8) are the input data. The flow velocity v of the non-full pipe fluid particles, the Reynolds number Re of the fluid to be tested, and the friction coefficient λ of the non-full pipe fluid in the hydraulically smooth region are the calculated data.

[0055] After measuring the friction coefficient of the fluid in a partially filled pipe according to the above steps, substitute the friction coefficient into the Manning formula to calculate the flow rate, and compare it with the flow rate measured by the flow meter. Figure 7 .from Figure 7 As can be seen, the flow rate of the non-full pipe fluid measured by the flow meter and the flow rate of the non-full pipe fluid calculated using the friction coefficient measured by this method have a high degree of consistency, with an average error of 2.16%. This demonstrates that the device and method proposed in this invention for measuring the friction coefficient of a non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region are reliable in measuring the friction coefficient of the non-full pipe fluid in a hydraulically smooth region and can be applied to calculate flow rate using the Manning formula.
