Abstract
A system is described for providing means by which the flow in a fluid such s water in a fluid flow loop can be accurately controlled to undergo user defined transients. Besides, the system allows for velocity variations over a wide range of velocities.
Claims4
A transient flow loop for generating user defined transients in a fluid flow which comprises:
- a storage tank for supplying the fluid;
- a pumping means to supply the fluid at a constant pressure;
- noise reducing means for obtaining noise-free environment for testing of the flow of the fluid;
- a flowmeter means for accurately measuring the flow rates of the fluid;
- control valve means for controlling the transients to be introduced in the flow rate of the fluid.
