Abstract

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Flow and volume measurement of incompressible fluids are prevalent in many engineering processes. Flows in a pipe network, also called pipe flow, are widely encountered in industry and our daily activities. For example, water is delivered to homes via the pipelines of a water distribution infrastructure. In power plants, numerous pipe flows are used to transport liquid, vapor, and two-phase flows: steam produced in boilers is transported in pipes to steam turbines for energy conversion. Boiler feed water (BFW) is pumped to a boiler via a BFW pipe.
