Design on calculation program of water mass flow rate base on temperature changes using LabVIEW

Availability of information calculation of water mass flow rate based on the change of temperature which can be monitored directly on experimental PRHRS in dispensable as the information in the fluid's ability to move heat.Therefore,to design virtual LabVIEW program with the purpose of providing the facility of water mass flow rate calculations based on temperature changes in real time. Design methodology using the equation of water mass flow rate of one phase in a closed-loop flow due to temperature differences. The calculation of program result is displayed on the front panel and validated by manual calculation. Validation results showed the same value between the results of the execution of the program with the results of manual calculations. With the LabVIEW virtual program design, calculation of water mass flow rate manually is no longer required, in order to obtain the efficiency of time. (author)
