Unitary Analysis, Synthesis, and Classification of Flow Meters - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Horia Mihai Motit, PhD, graduated from Automatic Control and Computers Faculty, University Politehnica, in Bucharest, Romania, and received a PhD in flow measurement in 2000. He developed a prodigious career with over 30 years of research, design, and production of a considerable variety of types of flow meters (variable area flow meters, insertion flow meters, oscillating piston meters, bypass flow meters, flow measurement structures using flumes, test stands for volumetric calibration, respectively, for gravimetric calibration of flow meters). He received the distinguished awards for creativity: National Prize for Patented Inventions (2^nd place) in 1985, National Prize for Patented Inventions (1^st place) in 1987. He has achieved a significant number of patents in the field, regarding new types of industrial flow meters (then produced in a large number) including the world premiere "method for the determination of conversion curves of flow scales of gas variable area flow meters, using only water."

Dr. Motit is the author of several reference books in the field, of which the most relevant include the following: Industrial Flow Measurement (1988), Meters (water meters, heat meters, gas meters) (1997), and Variable Area Flow meters (2006). He developed an intense scientific activity in the flow measurement field, by presenting more than 30 lectures to national and international symposia/congresses and publishing more than 35 articles in national technical and scientific journals. Dr. Motit was Director of the R&D department for flow measurement of Measurement and Control Instrument Company S.A. in Otopeni (Bucharest), Fine Mechanics Company S.A. in Bucharest, Mechatronics and Measuring Technique Institute in Bucharest. Dr. Mo?it was then the Technical Director of Schlumberger Industries in Romania.

Dr. Motit is the Founding President of the Romanian Technical Standardization Committee for Flow Measurement (1990–2006), the member and Romania’s representative at IMEKO/TC9—Flow Measurement Committee (1991–present), the Founding President of A.A.I.R.—Control and Instrumentation Association of Romania (1990–present), and the Editorial Director of Automation and Instrumentation journal (1991–present).
