Abstract
The paper relates to the field of measuring technologies and deals with the enhancement of thermoconvective method when it is applied for the experimental determination of such hydrodynamics indicators as mass flow rate and velocity of flow by their indirect parameters - capacity of the heater and the temperatures obtained from two thermal sensors, provided that they are located on the hermetic piping system surface. The issue of determination of correction factor on heterogeneity of liquid temperature distribution in the pipe cross section depending on pipe diameter and fluid movement velocity was clarified. According to the results of numerical calculations, the dependencies of temperature gradient on the pipe surface and the correction factor on the heterogeneity of the temperature distribution along the pipe cross-section under the heater in the function of the velocity of flow in pipes of different diameters are plotted. These dependencies specify the thermal method of studying the fluid flow in the pipes, simplify the experiment conduction, are useful in processing of the obtained results and can be applied in measuring engineering.
