CFD and experimental investigation into a non-intrusive method for measuring cooling air mass flow rate through a synchronous generator

CFD and experimental investigation into a non-intrusive method for measuring cooling air mass flow rate through a synchronous generator

This study presents a detailed methodology for non-intrusive measurement of cooling air mass flow rate that enables an overall machine evaluation. This approach enables the simultaneous measurement of air mass flow with shaft torque at differing operating points while minimising the change in air fl...
