Abstract

In this paper a cost-effective method for measuring transportation velocity and the velocity profile of a material flow of powdery solids inside a pipe is presented. For the measurement, artificial perturbations are brought into the mass flow and the effects of these perturbations are acquired and correlated at measurement sections. The velocity profile is calculated with the knowledge of the perturbation’s rheological decomposition and the sensitivity distribution of the measurement configuration.
