Summary on Grant Application Form
This proposal seeks to achieve the generation of a new type of Coriolis flowmeter with the novel capability of a high performance dynamic response. Such meters will enable significant benefits in a wide range of applications requiring fast control actions, including short duration flow-batching; they will also allow entirely new areas of application, including the control of gas turbine engine fuel flow. The project objectives will be achieved through acollaborative programme of work between Oxford and Brunel universities. This will utilise the synergy between expertise in flow transmitter design (Oxford) and mechanical dynamics expertise (Brunel). Project outputs will comprise: design insights derived from existing and new knowledge, which will enable creation of meters to achieve a specified dynamic performance; the specification and designs for new Coriolis meters (flow tubes and transmitter) for two selected high dynamic performance applications, together with a proof-of-concept prototype.
