Abstract:
In this thesis, design and development of turbine flow meter for measuring of the volumetric flow rate of open channel and calibration system for it have been developed. This system has been constructed from two main sections, namely: software and hardware sections. The hardware section consists of a turbine, turbine chamber, Tachogenerator, microcontroller, and an ultrasonic sensor for measuring of channel water level. The turbine is located in exposure of water stream, and hence can be rotated in proportional to the water stream in which the value of rotation is measured by the tachogenerator, and then sent to the microcontroller, in order to calculate the velocity of water stream. At the same time, the wet cross section of the channel can be determined, using the geometry characteristics of the channel and sent ultrasonic sensor data. Multiplying this value by the velocity of water stream, one can obtain the volumetric flow rate of the channel. The turbine meters must be calibrated which is developed in this thesis, too
