Abstract

A microwave resonant cavity was used for the determination of water volume fraction in oil-water upward flow, the frequency shift and changes in the quality factor of the cavity resonator were the vital parameters. During the experiments, the flow rates of silicon oil were 75, 100 and 125 L/min and the water volume fraction ranged from 0 to 20.1%. The relative error between the predicted and measured water volume fraction of oil-water upward flow ranged from -3.9% to 4.32% and -2.58% to 4.44% for the TM010 and TM110 modes.
