Abstract: Averaging Pitot tube flowmeter often uses a separated structure which is not convenient. The research uses a design of integration to overcome the problems and creates an intelligent system to process data. Some improvement methods such as the non-linear correction of meter factor, temperature and pressure compensation are proposed to improve the accuracy of flow rate. In experiments, by comparisons of the results before and after improvements, it comes to a conclusion that the intelligent integrated averaging Pitot tube flowmeter shows a higher performance.

Abstract: The goal of this research is to develop a design and optimization methodology for the mechatronic modules of machine tools by treating all important characteristics from all involved engineering domains in one single process. In this study, a mechatronic system of machine tools was broken into a structure and control two-level systems. In the first stage for structure design process, the Pro/E was used to build up the 3D models and the AnSys was employed to design the mechanical structure and select the optimal components for the machine tools. Next, in the control design process, a common controller type was designed by MATLAB in this stage. Then, three important parameters were established for the machine tools design to achieve the overall system performance.
