摘要
This paper presents two calibration methods for a CTA probe valid at low speeds covering a range of 0.029 m/s <= U <= 1.79 m/s. The well-known in situ calibration method using a simple laminar pipe-flow set-up was used for a mean Re number range of 25 <= Re <= 1590. The rotating disc method is the proposed calibration method in the speed range of 0.05 m/s <= U <= 1.05 m/s. Both calibration methods were compared and found to be in conformity with each other in a maximum error margin of +/- 7%. Therefore derived calibration equation in the form of modified King's Law with corresponding values of the parameters; A = 2.676. B = 0.749 and n = 0.75 can be utilized at speeds as low as 0.029 m/s with sufficient accuracy. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
