Answer / atul $onawane
electromagnetic flow meter works on the principle of fadays
law of induction. in this voltage induced in the conductor is
proportional to the velocity of fluid(conducting). only
conducting fluids and gases are used .

Answer / rajesh l parmar
Electromagnetic flow meter works on a principal of
faraday’s law or electromagnetic induction which states
that when a current carrying coinductor moves through a
stationary traverse magnetic field, then e.m.f. is induced
between the ends of the conductor and this e.m.f. is
proportional to relative velocity between conductor and
magnetic field
E = BLV where
B = magnetic induction
L = length of a conductor
V = velocity of the conductor relative to the magnetic
field
It consists of a flow tube inside a pipe which carries a
fluid flow. So when the fluid is passed through the flow
tube, it is visualized as a current carrying conductor
having a length equal to inside diameter of the flow tube.
Now the gas, steam and oils are having low electrical
conductance. So no E.M.F. can be generated in such case. So
electromagnetic flow meters can not be used for metering
gas, oil and steam.
In general electromagnetic flow meters can only be used to
measure the flow of fluid which are sufficient conductive
to generate e.m.f.

Answer / m n gopinath
electromagnetic meters are generally used with conductive
liquids having conductivity greater than 50 microsiemens/cm.
DM Water, gases,steams and hydrocarbons are non conductive,
hence cannot be used.
..however it can be used in acid or alkali services

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEERING - QUESTION 22.3 : A well delivers 225 US-gallons per minute of water to a chemical plant during normal system operation. (a) Calculate its flowrate in the unit of mega US-gallon per day or MGD. (b) The following formula is written next to the chlorine feed point : (chlorine feed rate, lb / day) = (flowrate, MGD) X (dose, mg / L) x (8.34). If this formula is correct, then what should the chlorine feed rate to be in pounds per day (lb / day) if the desired dose is 2 mg / L. (c) Prove by calculations that the constant 8.34 in the formula next to the chlorine feed point is correct. Let 1 US-gallon = 3.78541 L and 1 mg = 0.0000022046 pound.

BIOCHEMICAL ENGINEERING INSTRUMENTATION - EXAMPLE 29.5 : The following formula is used as a reference : (analyte signal) / (internal standard signal) = (f-factor) x (concentration of analyte) / (concentration of internal standard). A solution containing 3 mM of analyte and 4 mM of internal standard gave peak signals of 2 and 3 mamps respectively. Another similar solution containing 2 mM of analyte and 1 mM of internal standard gave peak signals of 1 and 4 mamps respectively. Find the average f-factor.

PROCESS DESIGN - EXAMPLE 21.3 : According to a heuristic of chemical engineering plant design, assume a pressure difference dP = 4 psi for each 10-ft rise in elevation. A pump is needed to pump liquid from a storage tank at a lower elevation to a heating tank at a higher elevation with the elevation difference of 60 ft. (a) Find the pressure loss due to such elevation. (b) If the required minimum inlet pressure to the heating tank is 9 psi, with 1 control valve is installed between pump and heating tank, what is the dP minimum required for the control valve and the entrance to the heating tank when the heuristic mentions that at least 10 psi is required for the control valve? (c) The pressure at the inlet of the pump is 8 psi and the flowrate of the liquid produces pressure head of 50 psi. What is the total pressure produced by the pump? (d) Assume a pipeline dP of 2 psi / 100 ft for liquid flow in a pipe according to heuristic, what is the approximate maximum length of the pipe in ft that can be installed between the pump and the heating tank?

Question 50 - An aqueous solution with 2.5 g of a protein dissolved in 600 cubic centimeters of a solution at 20 degree Celsius was placed in a container that has a water-permeable membrane. Water permeated through the membrane until the h - level of the solution was 0.9 cm above the pure water. (a) Calculate the absolute temperature of the solution, T in Kelvin, where T (Kelvin) = T (degree Celsius) + 273.15.
