Dual-parameter model based on the combination of V-cone and vortex flowmeter was proposed to measure the mass flowrate of wet steam.
The vortex meter coefficient was calibrated and the Over-Reading correlation with the Lockhart Martinelli parameter was established by field experimental data.
The proposed model predicts the wet steam flowrate within ±6% from 95% tested samples, and the maximum error is ±10%
The predication accuracy is susceptible to high liquid holdup and high field pressure, which could be modified to further improve the prediction accuracy |
