Laser Doppler Velocimetry (LDV) is a powerful tool in measuring instantaneous velocities in transparent media. Suppose an LDV system is employed to measure z-component of velocity (uz) at a certain point in a tubular flow of water at 20C. Time versus velocity readings are listed below. Inside tube diameter is 5cm and volumetric flow rate is measured as 15m3h.
\table[[time (s),0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0],[uz(ms),1.84,1.77,1.82,1.86,1.88,1.84,1.90,1.80,1.82,1.87]]
a) Calculate the intensity of turbulence.
b) What is the distance between the measurement point and the center of the tube?
