A pyroclastic surge is a fluidized mass of turbulent gas and rock fragments which is ejected during some volcanic eruption s. It is similar to a pyroclasticflow but contains a much higher proportion of gas to rock, which makes it more turbulent and allows it to rise over ridges and hills rather than always travel downhill as pyroclastic flows do. Pyroclastic surges are much faster moving than pyroclastic flows, and can reach speeds of 1050 km h. Pyroclastic flows may generate surges. For example, the city of Saint Pierre, Martinique Saint Pierre on the Caribbean island of Martinique in 1902 was overcome by one. Base surge was first recognised after the Taal Volcano eruption of 1965, where a visiting volcanologist recognised the phenomenon as congruent to base surge in atomic explosions. The USGS defines base surge as turbulent, low density cloud of rock debris and water and or steam that moves over the ground surface at high speed. Base surges are generated by explosions. ref http vulcan.wr.usgs.gov Glossary volcano terminology.html Base 20surge USGS Glossary ref Hot surges contain gas and steam at temperatures above 100 C 212 F and are ejected from the vent . They may be as hot as 800 C 1500 F and are produced by the same mechanisms as pyroclastic flows. Cold surges contain gas mainly below 100 C 212 F and can be produced when magma comes into contact with a large volume of water for example, if the vent is under a lake or the sea . Surges can travel around 10 kilometres 6.2 miles and are enormously destructive because of their massive kinetic energy and, for hot surges, the lethally hot gas. Even cold surges can contain large quantities of toxic gases, such as hydrogen sulfide .

They exhibit mantle bedding the deposits directly overlie pre existing topography and maintain a uniform thickness over relatively short distances. Sorting by size is more pronounced than pyroclastic surge or pyroclastic flows .

Image Emi Koussi Tibesti Mountains Chad.jpg 250px thumb right Emi Koussi seen from International Space Station In volcanology , a pyroclastic shield or terrestrial ignimbrite shield is an uncommon type of shield volcano . Unlike most shield volcanoes, pyroclastic shields are formed mostly of pyroclastic and highly explosive eruption s rather than relatively fluid basalt ic lava issuing from vents or fissure vent fissure s on the surface of the volcano. They typically display low angle flank slopes and have little or no central collapse, although a shallow sag in the shield is commonly observed. Lava is commonly extruded after explosive activity has ended. The paucity of associated Plinian eruption Plinian fall deposits indicates that pyroclastic shields are characterized by low Plinian columns. Pyroclastic shields are commonly known to form in the Andes Central Andes of South America , as well as in Melanesia the island of Bougainville Island Bougainville alone has two .

A flow sensor is a device for sensing the rate of fluid flow . Typically a flow sensor is the sensing element used in a flow meter , or flow logger, to record the flow of fluid s. As is true for all sensors, absolute accuracy of a measurement requires a functionality for calibration . There are various kinds of flow sensors and flow meters, including some that have a vane that is pushed by the fluid, and can drive a rotary potentiometer , or similar device. Other flow sensors are based on sensors which measure the transfer of heat caused by the moving medium. This principle is common for microsensor s to measure flow. Flow meters are related to devices called velocimetry velocimeters that measure velocity of fluids flowing through them. Laser based interferometry is often used for air flow measurement, but for liquids, it is often easier to measure the flow. Another approach is Photoacoustic Doppler effect Doppler based methods for flow measurement. Hall effect sensor s may also be used, on a flapper valve, or vane, to sense the position of the vane, as displaced by fluid flow.

Isothermal flow is a model of Compressible flow compressible fluid flow whereby the flow remains at the same temperature while flowing in a conduit. ref Shapiro, A.H., The Dynamics and Thermodynamics of Compressible Fluid Flow, Volume 1 , Ronald Press, 1953. ref In the model, heat transferred through the walls of the conduit is offset by frictional heating back into the flow. Although the flow temperature remains constant, a change in stagation temperature occurs because of a change in velocity. The interesting part of this flow is that the flow is choked at math 1 sqrt k math and not at Mach number equal to one as in the case of many other model such as Fanno flow . For an important practical case of a gas flow throw a long tube the model has an applicability in situations which occurs in a relatively long distance and where heat transfer is relatively rapid so that the temperature can be treated, for engineering purposes, as a constant. This model has also applicability as upper boundary to Fanno flow .

The flow coefficient of a device is a relative measure of its efficiency at allowing fluid flow. It describes the relationship between the pressure drop across an orifice , valve or other assembly and the corresponding volumetric flow rate flow rate . Mathematically the flow coefficient can be expressed as math C v F sqrt dfrac SG Delta P math where br C sub v sub Flow coefficient or flow capacity rating of valve. br F Rate of flow US gallons per minute . br SG Specific gravity of fluid Water 1 . br P Pressure drop across valve psi . In more practical terms, the flow coefficient C sub v sub is the volume in US gallons of water at 60 F that will flow per minute through a valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi across the valve. The use of the flow coefficient offers a standard method of comparing valve capacities and sizing valves for specific applications that is widely accepted by industry. The general definition of the flow coefficient can be expanded into equations modeling the flow of liquids, gases and steam as follows Coefficient of discharge is the ratio of actual flow rate to theoretical discharge.
