In one embodiment, a multi-path ultrasonic flow meter for determining the flow rate of a fluid in a conduit is disclosed comprising at least two transducer pairs attached to the conduit at two chord locations, one greater than and one less than a mid-radius chord, wherein the composite ratio the two path velocities to the flow rate is substantially constant over the range of Reynolds numbers. In another embodiment, a method of determining the flow rate of a fluid in a conduit is disclosed comprising the steps of determining a composite velocity by determining a weighted average of a plurality of path velocities, determining a chord velocity ratio based on the path velocities, determining a profile correction factor based on the composite velocity and the chord velocity ratio, and determining the flow rate based on the composite velocity and the profile correction factor.

Method and system for multi-path ultrasonic flow rate measurement

An improved moisture removal pocket configuration is described that includes an axial extension of the moisture removal slot over the bucket cover. The pocket may omit the upstream gutter segment to achieve the desired slot extension. The modified moisture removal pocket configuration improves the moisture removal efficiency by providing access to the pocket for water that moves as a film along the nozzle outer side wall and is entrained in the leakage jet above the bucket cover.
