Some Facts About Variable Area Flowmeters
The dra" force results from the flow field surroundin" the bob
and particularly from the wa0e of the bob.
*nder steady flow, the rotor assumes a speed that satisfies the
followin" e!uilibrium7
The difference between the actual rotor speed, r, and the ideal
rotor speed, r
i
, is the rotor slip velocity due to the combined
effect of all the rotor retardin" tor!ues , and as a result of
which the fluid velocity vector is deflected throu"h an e(it or
swirl an"le, .
'enotin" the radius variable by r, and e!uatin" the total rate of
chan"e of an"ular momentum of the fluid passin" throu"h the
rotor to the retardin" tor!ue, one obtains7
N

is the total retardin" tor!ue

Electromagnetic Flowmeters
They are easy to install and use to the e(tent that e(istin" pipes in
a process can be turned into meters simply by addin" e(ternal
electrodes and suitable ma"nets.
