“…Some advantage of turbine meters over other flowmeters such as simplicity of installation and high accuracy in measurement makes them so practical. In view of this fact, turbine meters are used for flow measurement of most precious materials such as crude oil, gas, and petroleum products [1]. In this type of flow meters, which work based on the flow kinetic energy, rotor of flow meter starts to spin and the flow rate can be measured according to the angular velocity of rotor [2].…”

To detect water and pesticide flow rate for variable-rate spray, a new type liquid Differential Pressure (DP) flow sensor was introduced in this paper. The main problem that we attempt to solve was on-line flow measurement, to know the flow each moment and adjust pesticide to a desirable flow in the spray system. This new DP flow sensor is composed of a straight pipe with two branch pipes (an upstream branch pipe and a downstream branch pipe) in two ends and a DP sensor. A pressure difference between the upstream branch pipe and the downstream pipe is detected and converted into a voltage signal by the DP sensor.This voltage signal is transmitted to a microprocessor to determine liquid flow rate. Using water as working fluid, the liquid DP flow sensor at a certain dimension has been tested at the temperature of 22.0"C. The experimental results have shown that the presented device is satisfactory to variable sprayer with the measurement errors less than 1 %. This liquid DP flow sensor's advantage is simple in structure.

“…By the optimization and improvement of further research, the structure of the meter is formed, and the meter has found wide application in many fields. Since the last few years from the 1950s to now, much research [2][3][4][5][6] on the performance curve of a turbine flowmeter are implemented, and several mathematical models about turbine flowmeters have been proposed, in which Thompson's airfoil theory [2] is approved by many later researchers. But some simplifications of important factors are presumed during the modeling process because of the complexity of the fluid motion in the meter chamber.…”
