Adaptive Mesh Numerical Solution of the Electromagnetic Flowmeter for Partially-Filled Pipes

Saleh Esmael Najem, Qais A. Rashak, Muneer A. Ismael

Pages: 33-43

PDF Full Text
Abstract

Electromagnetic flowmeters measure flow rate of the electrically conducting liquids. Its operation is based on Faraday's principle of induction. In many situations the pipe may be partially filled where in this case the analysis of the flowmeter equation is widely altered and the numerical solution may diverge. In this paper we have established a new numerical formulation, based on finite difference method, which adaptively refines the mesh until the desired solution converges to a certain accuracy. The representation of the flowmeter equations in the polar axis of the solution domain (cylindrical cut from it the empty portion) can result in the singularities in the solution. To avoid these singularities, the grids are shifted one half mesh width from the polar axis. The number of iterations that gives convergence is appreciably reduced via this numerical technique. The build algorithm of the adaptive numerical solution led us to determine, for each liquid level, the optimum angular position of the electrodes that gives maximum accuracy i.e. minimum sensitivity to the changes in the velocity profile of the liquid to be metered.

Design and Implementation of Portable Vibration Analysis and Diagnosis System

Saleh I. Najem, Jaafar Kh. Ali, AbdelBaki Kh. Ali, Ali Hassan AbdelAali

Pages: 66-80

PDF Full Text
Abstract

In this work, a portable vibration analysis and diagnosis system is designed and constructed. The system is capable of doing most of the known analysis techniques such as FFT, time waveform, cepstrum analysis, dual channel analysis, orbit, envelope detection and other techniques. Furthermore, a new fast and efficient tracking analysis algorithm, suitable for portable instruments, has been proposed. This technique provides the data required to get accurate Bode and Nyquist plots for diagnostic analysis during machine run-up and coast-down tests. Moreover, FFT waterfall and spectrogram techniques have been included. Also, single-plane and dual-plane field balancing have been implemented in this system to execute field balancing tasks.

Design and Implementation of a Computerized Balancing System

Jaafar Kh. Ali, Saleh I. Najem

Pages: 35-47

PDF Full Text
Abstract

In this work, a new computerized measurement system for multi-plane flexible rotor balancing has been designed and implemented. This system can be used to modernize and enhance conventional low-speed balancing machines or for field balancing applications. This system adds very important features to balancing machines such as multi-plane flexible rotor balancing, high accuracy, stability, and high dynamic range. Also, the proposed flexible rotor balancing technique permits accurate balancing of high-speed rotors utilizing low-speed balancing machines or field balancing at speeds lower than the critical speeds. The proposed digital Wattmetric technique in conjugation with advanced measurement circuitry have led to significant improvement in balancing accuracy even when the unbalance signal is buried into high level of noise.
