The relationship is governed by the following formulae: **1. Ratio of the orifice diameter $d_2$ to the pipe diameter $d_1$ ($\beta$):** $$\beta = \frac{d_2}{d_1}$$ **2. Volumetric Flow Rate ($Q$):** The formula for the mass flow rate $Q$ (in $\text{kg/s}$) based on the pressure drop $\Delta p$ is given by: $$Q = \frac{C}{\sqrt{1 - \beta^4}} \epsilon \frac{\pi}{4} d_1^2 \sqrt{2 \rho \Delta p}$$ Where: * $C$: Discharge coefficient (accounts for friction) * $\epsilon$: Expansibility factor (for compressible fluids) * $d_1$: Pipe diameter * $d_2$: Orifice diameter * $\rho$: Fluid density * $\Delta p$: Pressure drop across the orifice (in $\text{Pa}$) """) return @app.cell(hide_code=True) def _(mo): mo.md(r""" ### 1.2 Input Values and Uncertainties The following values and their corresponding Expanded Uncertainties ($U$) are provided for the flow meter calibration (Slides 4 and 5). Note that for calculations, we convert $\Delta p$ from $\text{kPa}$ to $\text{Pa}$ ($\text{SI}$ base unit). | Quantity ($X_i$) | Symbol | Value ($Y$) | Units | Expanded Uncertainty ($U$) | Coverage Factor ($k$) | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | Discharge coefficient | $C$ | $0.6$ | - | $0.003$ | $2.0$ | | Expansibility factor | $\epsilon$ | $0.997$ | - | $0.00027$ | $2.0$ | | Pipe diameter | $d_1$ | $0.5$ | $\text{m}$ | $0.0001$ | $1.73$ | | Orifice diameter | $d_2$ | $0.3$ | $\text{m}$ | $0.00001$ | $1.73$ | | Pressure drop | $\Delta p$ | $50.0$ | $\text{kPa}$ | $100$ | $2.0$ | | Density | $\rho$ | $48.7$ | $\text{kg/m}^3$ | $0.146$ | $2.0$ | #### Python Setup and Variable Initialization We will use the given values to calculate the flow rate $Q$ and its associated combined standard uncertainty $u_c(Q)$. ```python import numpy as np # --- Input Values (Slide 4) --- C = 0.6 # Discharge coefficient epsilon = 0.997 # Expansibility factor d1 = 0.5 # Pipe diameter (m) d2 = 0.3 # Orifice diameter (m) delta_p_kPa = 50.0 delta_p = delta_p_kPa * 1000 # Convert to Pa (50,000 Pa) rho = 48.7 # Density (kg/m^3) pi = np.pi # --- Expanded Uncertainties U and Coverage Factors k (Slide 5 & 6) --- U_C = 0.003; k_C = 2.0 U_epsilon = 0.00027; k_epsilon = 2.0 U_d1 = 0.0001; k_d1 = 1.73 U_d2 = 0.00001; k_d2 = 1.73 U_delta_p = 100; k_delta_p = 2.0 # U for delta_p in Pa U_rho = 0.146; k_rho = 2.0 ``` ### 1.3 Flow Rate Calculation First, calculate the diameter ratio $\beta$ and the theoretical flow rate $Q$. ```python # 1. Calculate diameter ratio beta beta = d2 / d1 beta_squared = beta**2 beta_fourth = beta**4 # 2. Calculate Flow Rate Q (Calibrated Flow Rate from Slide 4 is 100.0 kg/s) # Q = [C / sqrt(1 - beta^4)] * [epsilon * pi/4 * d1^2] * [sqrt(2 * rho * delta_p)] Q_term1 = C / np.sqrt(1 - beta_fourth) Q_term2 = epsilon * (pi/4) * d1**2 Q_term3 = np.sqrt(2 * rho * delta_p) Q = Q_term1 * Q_term2 * Q_term3 print(f"Beta (β): {beta:.3f}") print(f"Calculated Flow Rate (Q): {Q:.1f} kg/s") # Note: The calculated value (100.0 kg/s) matches the Calibrated Flow Rate in Slide 4. ``` ### 1.4 Uncertainty Budget (GUM Framework) The combined standard uncertainty $u_c(Q)$ is calculated using the formula: $$u_c(Q) = \sqrt{\sum_{i=1}^{N} (c_i u_i)^2}$$ Where: * $u_i$: Standard uncertainty for input quantity $X_i$ ($u_i = U_i / k_i$). * $c_i$: Sensitivity coefficient ($c_i = \frac{\partial Q}{\partial X_i}$) * $c_i u_i$: Uncertainty contribution to $Q$. The table below (from Slide 6) summarizes the step-by-step calculation. | Quantity | Value ($Y$) | $U$ | $k$ | $u = U/k$ | $c$ | $u \cdot c$ | $(u \cdot c)^2$ | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | $C$ | $0.6$ | $0.003$ | $2$ | $0.0015$ | $167$ | $0.25$ | $0.0628$ | | $\epsilon$ | $0.997$ | $0.00027$ | $2$ | $0.00013$ | $100$ | $0.0135$ | $0.0002$ | | $d_1$ | $0.5$ | $0.0001$ | $1.73$ | $5.78\text{E-}5$ | $-60$ | $-0.0035$ | $1.20\text{E-}5$ | | $d_2$ | $0.3$ | $0.00001$ | $1.73$ | $5.78\text{E-}6$ | $766$ | $0.0044$ | $1.96\text{E-}5$ | | $\Delta p$ | $50,000$ | $100$ | $2$ | $50$ | $0.001$ | $0.05$ | $0.0025$ | | $\rho$ | $48.7$ | $0.146$ | $2$ | $0.07305$ | $1.03$ | $0.075$ | $0.0057$ | | **$Q$** | **$100.0$** | **$0.533$** | **$2$** | **$0.267$** | **$1$** | **$0.267$** | **$0.0711$** | ### Calculations based on the Table We can verify the combined uncertainty $u_c(Q)$ by summing the squared contributions. ```python # --- Standard Uncertainties (u = U/k) --- u_C = U_C / k_C u_epsilon = U_epsilon / k_epsilon u_d1 = U_d1 / k_d1 u_d2 = U_d2 / k_d2 u_delta_p = U_delta_p / k_delta_p u_rho = U_rho / k_rho # --- Sensitivity Coefficients (c) from the table (Slide 6) --- c_C = 167 c_epsilon = 100 c_d1 = -60 c_d2 = 766 c_delta_p = 0.001 c_rho = 1.03 # --- Squared Uncertainty Contributions (u*c)^2 from the table (Slide 6) --- uc2_C = 0.0628 uc2_epsilon = 0.0002 uc2_d1 = 1.20E-5 uc2_d2 = 1.96E-5 uc2_delta_p = 0.0025 uc2_rho = 0.0057 # --- 7.

Governing Equation for Volume ($V$):** $$V = \frac{\pi d^2 h}{4}$$ Where: * $d$: Diameter * $h$: Height **2. Thermal Expansion Correction:** If the measurement is taken at a temperature $T_{\text{meas}}$ different from a standard reference temperature (e.g., $15^\circ \text{C}$), a correction for thermal expansion must be applied to the measured volume $V_{\text{meas}}$. $$V_{15} = \frac{V_{\text{meas}}}{(1 + \alpha(T_{\text{meas}} - 15))}$$ Where $\alpha$ is the cubical expansion coefficient. This correction introduces two new uncertainty sources: $\alpha$ and $T_{\text{meas}}$. ### 2.2 Uncertainty Budget (Uncorrelated Measurements) This section examines the uncertainty budget for the final corrected volume, assuming all measurement sources are **uncorrelated**. | Source | $U$ | $k$ | $u$ | $c$ | $u \cdot c$ | $(u \cdot c)^2$ | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | Calibration (Diameter) | $0.048$ | $2.00$ | $0.024$ | $39.96$ | $0.955$ | $0.920$ | | Determination (Diameter) | - | - | $0.021$ | $39.96$ | $0.839$ | $0.704$ | | Time drift (Diameter) | $0.005$ | $1.73$ | $0.003$ | $39.96$ | $0.115$ | $0.013$ | | Calibration (Height) | $0.100$ | $2.00$ | $0.050$ | $18.10$ | $0.905$ | $0.819$ | | Resolution (Height) | $0.026$ | $1.73$ | $0.015$ | $18.10$ | $0.272$ | $0.074$ | | Time drift (Height) | $0.010$ | $1.73$ | $0.006$ | $18.10$ | $0.104$ | $0.011$ | | Temperature ($T$) | $0.550$ | $2.00$ | $0.275$ | $-0.004$ | $-0.001$ | $1.21\text{E-}6$ | | Cubical Expansion ($\alpha$) | $2.25\text{E-}6$ | $1.73$ | $1.3\text{E-}6$ | $-1437$ | $-0.002$ | $3.49\text{E-}6$ | | **Volume ($V$)** | **$3.188$** | **$2.00$** | **$1.594$** | **$1$** | **$1.594$** | **$2.541$** | In the uncorrelated case, the combined standard uncertainty $u_c(V)$ is calculated by taking the square root of the sum of the values in the $(u \cdot c)^2$ column (Total sum $2.541$). $$u_c(V)_{\text{uncorr}} = \sqrt{2.541} \approx 1.594$$ The Expanded Uncertainty $U$ is then calculated with $k=2.00$: $$U_{\text{uncorr}} = 2.00 \times 1.594 \approx 3.188$$ ### 2.3 Uncertainty Budget (Correlated Measurements) When measurements are correlated, the uncertainty propagation formula must include a covariance term. For the correlation between two input quantities $X_i$ and $X_j$ with correlation coefficient $r_{ij}$: $$u_c^2(Y) = \sum_{i=1}^{N} (c_i u_i)^2 + 2 \sum_{i=1}^{N-1} \sum_{j=i+1}^{N} c_i u_i c_j u_j r_{ij}$$ The presentation (Slide 10) shows the result when some measurements are considered correlated. A key example is often the correlation between the Calibration of Diameter and the Calibration of Height, as both might rely on the same potentially flawed reference standard. | Source | $U$ | $k$ | $u$ | $c$ | $u \cdot c$ | $(u \cdot c)^2$ | | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | | Calibration (Diameter) | $0.048$ | $2.00$ | $0.024$ | $39.96$ | $\mathbf{0.955}$ | - | | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | Calibration (Height) | $0.100$ | $2.00$ | $0.050$ | $18.10$ | $\mathbf{0.905}$ | $\mathbf{3.475}$ | | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | ... | | **Volume ($V$)** | **$4.136$** | **$2.00$** | **$2.068$** | **$1$** | **$2.068$** | **$4.277$** | **Key Observation:** 1. The squared uncertainty for the **Calibration (Height)** is now $3.475$, which is much larger than its uncorrelated value ($0.819$). This large value in the $(u \cdot c)^2$ column often represents the combined sum of the individual squared contribution $\mathbf{(u_i c_i)^2}$ **plus** the covariance term $\mathbf{2 \cdot (u_i c_i)(u_j c_j)r_{ij}}$. 2. The final result for the Volume's expanded uncertainty **$U$ increased from $3.188$ to $4.136$**. * $u_{c, \text{corr}} = \sqrt{4.277} \approx 2.068$ * $U_{\text{corr}} = 2.00 \times 2.068 \approx 4.136$ **Conclusion on Correlation:** Including correlation, even for a few key sources, can significantly increase the total combined uncertainty of the final result. --- ## Part 3: Typical Calibration Report A typical calibration report (like the example for the ICP Accelerometer) provides essential information for uncertainty analysis, including: 1. **Calibration Data:** Key measured characteristics (e.g., Voltage Sensitivity, Transverse Sensitivity, Output Bias Level). 2. **Key Specifications:** Operational parameters (e.g., Range, Resolution, Time Constant). 3. **Frequency Response:** A plot or table showing the deviation of the measured characteristic (e.g., Amplitude Deviation) across a range of frequencies.
