Small Explanation

10/27/2010 11:36 AM

hello all,

I'm Working on a small project i like to call -The Development of a Thermo-Acoustic Gas Flowmeter. in this project, i'm using a 1.5cm diameter glass U-tube wich will alow the flow of gas within it and a heating wire will heat the gas in the tube. now inorder to measure the flow i have added a mic and speaker at the ends of the tube and with a couple of equasions reguarding frequency generation, the flow will be measured. now my question is one of the equations i cant directly find is an expression which calculates the velocity of gas flow (Q) as a function of temperature. {Q(T)} thnx.

I think you can find something here.

You haven't said what gases you will be measuring. If you want to obtain velocities of different gases, you can use King's Law which relates velocity to the gas's density and the current flowing in the heated wire. This will give you a direction to go in, but you will still have to obtain data and curve-fit to get any accuracy.
