Excerpt from An Electrical Method for the Measurement of the Flow of Water: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering in the College of Engineering, University of Illinois, 1916
The object of the experiments discussed in this thesis is to establish a relation between the heat lost by an element and the velocity of the water in which it is submerged. Such a relation has been found for air. In measuring the quantity of air flow ing in a pipe, it is necessary to pass it through some form of heat ing element. This element may be a wire heated by an electric cur rent, or a coil of pipe through which hot water is allowed to flow. (see Figure No.1a). If the lattertype of element is used the heat lost by it is equal to Wo(t' where W0 is the weight of wa ter flowing through the heating coil per second, and t' and t are the initial and final temperatures. The heat gained by the air is equal to 2375 Wa(t2 t1) where 237 is the specific heat of air at constant pressure, W3 is the weight of air passing per second.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between the loss of heat from an element and the velocity of water flowing around it, with the goal of establishing a method for measuring water flow rate. The author builds on earlier research in air flow measurement, adapting the principles to the unique challenges of measuring water's properties. The book documents a series of experiments conducted using various instruments, including thermometers and thermocouples, to measure the temperature of a heated element submerged in water. The consistent emergence of a correlation between heat loss and water velocity across different experimental setups provides strong evidence of the underlying relationship. The experiments culminated in the development of an air thermometer apparatus, which proved to be the most promising for practical applications due to its rapid and pronounced response to changes in water velocity. The author acknowledges the need for further refinement and calibration of the apparatus to enhance its accuracy and reliability. Ultimately, this book contributes to the understanding of the relationship between heat transfer and fluid flow, offering insights that can advance the development of practical instruments for measuring water velocity in various applications.
