PhD Thesis at the University of Basrah Explores Numerical and Experimental Study of a Flow Meter
A PhD thesis at the College of Engineering, University of Basrah, investigated a numerical and experimental study of a variable-area orifice flow meter for respiratory applications.
The thesis, submitted by Rana Kareem Shumkhi, focused on a variable-area flow meter designed to measure airflow through a circular tube containing a flexible gate fixed at one end and movable at the other.
The thesis comprises five chapters, in which the researcher studied the pressure difference generated by the flow inside the tube and its correlation with the actual flow rate.
