Abstract:
Pneumatic conveying has become one of the most favorable transport techniques for bulk solid materials. The metrological assessment of the flow parameters, e.g. mass flow, velocity, as well as the quantification of the flow regime is of crucial interest. However, the nature of the transport system makes measurements challenging. In this work we present an electrical capacitance tomography system for state of flow estimation and demonstrate the abilities of the system by means of test rig measurements.
