Computational and experimental analyses of pressure drop in curved tube structural sections of Coriolis mass flow metre for laminar flow region

This research presents a comprehensive investigation into the computational and experimental aspects of pressure drop phenomena within the curved tube structures. Mass flow measurement holds critical significance in process industries to mitigate inaccuracies arising from fluid property variations. The CMFM stands as a reliable instrument for direct measurement; however, its performance has exhibited discrepancies, recording lower fluid flow magnitudes than actual values in laminar flow conditions. This anomaly is suspected to be attributable to a secondary force generated within the sensor's curved tube structure. This study seeks to elucidate this phenomenon by assessing the pressure drop resulting from the…
