Flow Measurement of Diesel Fuel 1

[Mechwill]

Hi all,

Please let me briefly explain the scenario of this experiment

Types of fluids: Air and Diesel
Types of measurement: flow rate and pressure

Air pressure : regulated in 10 to 15 psi

Both of air and diesel fuel are working in 1/4" ID pipe/hose.

A spray nozzle is placed into a manifold so that the fuel can be drawn by the air. This will create atomization and mixture with air and diesel. Air is the driving energy to draw the diesel fuel into the system. In other word, there is only vacuum pressure in the fuel line.

Can anyone advise on best way to accurately measure the volume flow rate of air and fuel from the situation above? All the information and suggestion are much appreciated.

Regards

thanks for your input, Compositepro,

Right now we are using burette to measure the flow rate of the fuel, but once again, since it's controlled by an operator who controls the valve and stopwatch, plus with the error of measurement (eye-measuring). That's why we are looking for alternative method to measure the flow, more digital or data-recorder type.
