New-Technology Flowmeters describes the origin, principle of operation, development, advantages and disadvantages, applications, and frontiers of research for new-technology flowmeters, which include Coriolis, magnetic, ultrasonic, vortex, and thermal. Focusing on the newer, faster growing flowmeter markets, the book places them in the context of more traditional meters such as differential pressure, turbine, and positive displacement. Taking an objective look at the origins of each flowmeter type, the book discusses the early patents, for each type, and which companies deserve credit for initially commercializing each flowmeter type. This book is designed for personnel involved with flowmeters and instrumentation, including product and marketing managers, strategic planners, application engineers, and distributors.

Arvustused

"The way each technology is laid out and expressed in fairly simple technical terms allows the reader to quickly grasp what makes each approach unique and applicable across the unlimited number of application conditions where measuring flow is a necessity." - Dan McQueen, Fluid Components International LLC

"The topics run smoothly from one sector to the next. [ It] raises the fundamental question as to what is flow and then further expands on this by outlining how it is used in the process industries. The book is very well-written and experts in flow technology will find it interesting and insightful." - Paul Warner, Editor, Fluid Handling Magazine

Dr. Jesse Yoder, President of Flow Research, has 36 years of experience writing about and analyzing process control and instrumentation markets, beginning as president and founder of Idea Network. He received a B.A. degree in philosophy at the University of Maryland in 1973. He received a PhD in philosophy from the University of Massachusetts in 1984, writing in philosophy of mind. Dr. Yoder was an adjunct philosophy professor at the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Lafayette College for 10 years. He founded Flow Research, Inc. in 1998, where he still serves as President.

Dr. Yoder has received two patents for new dual-sensor flowmeter designs. Several prototypes of these designs have been built and tested at CEESI. He has written over 280 market studies, has published over 300 articles on flow and instrumentation in industry journals, and has written several books.
