Abstract:
Combining C4D technique and cross-correlation velocity measurement technique, a new measurement method, which is suitable for the bubble/slug velocity measurement in millimeter-scale pipelines, is proposed. Based on the series resonance principle and the simulated inductor technique, a new C4D sensor is developed. With two conductance signals obtained by two new C4D sensors (the upstream sensor and the downstream sensor), the bubble/slug velocity measurement is implemented by the cross-correlation velocity measurement technique. Experiments are carried out in three pipelines with different inner diameters of 4.50, 5.46, and 6.44 mm, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed bubble/slug velocity measurement method is effective, the development of the new C4D sensor is successful, and the velocity measurement accuracy is satisfactory. The relative error of bubble velocity measurement is less than 5.41% and the relative error of slug flow velocity measurement is less than 4.90%.
