94 results about "Discharge coefficient" patented technology

In a nozzle or other constriction, the discharge coefficient (also known as coefficient of discharge) is the ratio of the actual discharge to the theoretical discharge, i.e., the ratio of the mass flow rate at the discharge end of the nozzle to that of an ideal nozzle which expands an identical working fluid from the same initial conditions to the same exit pressures. Mathematically the discharge coefficient may be related to the mass flow rate of a fluid through a straight tube of constant cross-sectional area through the following Cd=m/ρV=m/ρAu=m/ρA√(2ΔP/ρ)=m/A√(2ρΔP) Cd=Qₑₓₚ/Qₜₕₑₒ Where: Cd, discharge coefficient through the constriction (dimensionless).

System, method, and program for predicting state of battery

A method and system for predicting degradation of a battery. Modeling of a battery is made to be separated into an aging section and a current-carrying section. The modeling is established such that the amount of degradation of a capacity retention ratio is determined by the linear sum of stay at each temperature and each SOC. The separation into degradation components at each temperature and each SOC enables predicting degradation under various degradation environments. A model for a battery separated into an aging section and a current-carrying section and a calculation model of a root law are combined into an objective function, and a table of discharge coefficients ah(T,S) and a table of current-carrying coefficients ac(T,S) are generated using a solver, where T indicates the temperature and S indicates SOC.

Method of measuring multi-phase fluid flow downhole

Multi-phase flow is estimated in a flow meter by measuring fluid pressure within the flow meter and using the measured pressure to calculate a density of the flow. A total flow rate through the flow meter is estimated based on the calculated density and a PVT analysis of the fluid. A corrected total mass flow rate is calculated using a liquid / gas slip correction technique. Fluid flow rates are further corrected with a discharge coefficient that varies with changes in the Reynolds number of the fluid. The gas and oil fractions can be determined from the corrected total mass flow rate and gas fraction.
