MPA (Multi-Point Averaging) flow element is a new type of differential pressure (DP) flow-sensing device that was developed by Seojin Instech to improve the operating characteristics of the conventional Averaging Pilot Tube (APT) flow elements. Operating characteristics of a flowmeter in general can be defined in terms of measurement accuracy and range. Improvement of accuracy and expanding the range of flow measurement were the two main objectives of the development. To achieve these dual objectives several upstream and downstream pressure-sensing holes were placed in MPA flow element. During the course of the development it was found that certain arrangements of the pressure-sensing holes improved measurement accuracy but did not expand operating flow range of Averaging Pilot Tubes. Development tests were performed with water between Reynolds number of 50,000 and 1,000,000 in the four-inch test line at the Alden Research Laboratory, U.S.A. Purpose of this paper is to present the relationship between the various locations of the pressure-sensing holes and the performance characteristics of MPA flow element. Furthermore, the operating characteristics of the best performing MPA are compared with those of typical orifice and APT.

Annubar is one of popular tools to measure the exhausted gas flow rate from the stacks. For the accurate monitoring of the amount of discharged pollutants, calibration of annubar is very important. Calibration of annubar has been carried out in a wind tunnel. When the length of annubar is longer than the test section size of wind tunnel, it is very difficult to find out typical value of annubar coefficients. So, a measurement technique to calibrate annubar longer than the size of the test section of wind tunnel must be developed. In the present study, an experiment is performed to measure the annubar coefficients in such a limited size of the wind tunnel. The experimental annubar coefficient by using a partial blocking technique is very close to the annubar coefficient of normal condition.

5MW급 발전용 가스터빈의 주요 구성품 중 압축기에서의 성능시험 및 해석을 위해 측정 파라미터와 그 파라미터를 계측하기 위한 센서류를 선정하고자 한다. 축류압축기의 경우 각 단의 케이싱에서 정압 분포를 평균하여 계측하고, 내부 유동장에서 Kiel 온도관을 이용하여 전압 및 전온도 분포를 계측한다. 원심압축기의 경우 임펠러 출구의 허브면과 팁면에서의 정압 분포는 일반적으로 상당한 차이가 존재하므로 각 면에서 정압을 측정하여 평균하고, 디퓨저 내부와 디스월러 내부에서의 정압 분포를 계측하기 위해 한 피치에서 5개의 유선을 따라 10 곳에서 정압을 측정하고자 한다. 또한 압축기 내 유동특성과 동익-정익간의 상호작용을 고찰하기 위해 5공 피토관을 이용하여 내부 상세유동을 계측한다.
