| Abstract | The exact measurement of feed water flow is the major factor in nuclear power plant efficiency. However, due to the fouling problem, the venturi nozzle used in feed water measurement frequently causes a decrease in the efficiency of the nuclear power plant. To avoid this problem, ultrasonic technology is a reasonable candidate. The temperature of the feed water is about 300 °C. The commercial piezoelectric element used in an ultrasonic transducer preserves its characteristics up to a temperature of 120 °C. This problem must be overcome in order to use an ultrasonic flowmeter to measure the feed water flow. To address this issue, we designed a thermal block to insulate the high temperature from the pipe line. The method we used included a clamp-on type transducer and a driving circuit with a transit time difference method. The signals from the driving circuit were measured and the ultrasonic transducer assembly was tested at room temperature and at a high temperature of 300 °C. The test results revealed that the transit time difference was reasonably proportional to the flow velocity at room temperature, and the signals of the transducer installed on the pipe line were the same at 300 °C as those at room temperature. This result confirmed that the ultrasonic pulse was working well through the thermal block and in the high temperature fluid. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
