Gas flow rate measurement in two-phase flows using an optical channel body flow sensor. Design and validation of the single-channel prototype
Accurate measurement of gas holdup and flow rates in gas-liquid two-phase flows remains a complex and unresolved challenge. This paper presents the development and evaluation of an Optical Channel Body Flow Sensor (OCBFS) designed for the simultaneous measurement of volumetric gas and liquid flow rates. The measurement principle is based on formation of slug flow regime in small capillaries, where liquid and gas phase are separated. The sensor utilizes a plastic optical fiber-based sensing principle. Experimental validation of the OCBFS was conducted for a single channel across a range of superficial velocities, with liquid velocities between vl,s = 0.14–0.31 m/s and gas velocities between vg,s = 0.015–0.95 m/s, resulting in the formation of slug flow in a capillary with a diameter Dc = 2.5 mm.
The slug flow results showed deviations of less than 10 % from reference values, confirming the sensor's accuracy and reliability in gas flow measurements under adiabatic conditions. The OCBFS prototype provides a solid foundation for precise flow measurement in two-phase systems, advancing gas-liquid flow measurement technologies for applications that require reliable flow rate monitoring.
期刊介绍:
Flow Measurement and Instrumentation is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results on all aspects of flow measurement, in both closed conduits and open channels. The design of flow measurement systems involves a wide variety of multidisciplinary activities including modelling the flow sensor, the fluid flow and the sensor/fluid interactions through the use of computation techniques; the development of advanced transducer systems and their associated signal processing and the laboratory and field assessment of the overall system under ideal and disturbed conditions.
FMI is the essential forum for critical information exchange, and contributions are particularly encouraged in the following areas of interest:
Modelling: the application of mathematical and computational modelling to the interaction of fluid dynamics with flowmeters, including flowmeter behaviour, improved flowmeter design and installation problems. Application of CAD/CAE techniques to flowmeter modelling are eligible.
Design and development: the detailed design of the flowmeter head and/or signal processing aspects of novel flowmeters. Emphasis is given to papers identifying new sensor configurations, multisensor flow measurement systems, non-intrusive flow metering techniques and the application of microelectronic techniques in smart or intelligent systems.
Calibration techniques: including descriptions of new or existing calibration facilities and techniques, calibration data from different flowmeter types, and calibration intercomparison data from different laboratories.
Installation effect data: dealing with the effects of non-ideal flow conditions on flowmeters. Papers combining a theoretical understanding of flowmeter behaviour with experimental work are particularly welcome.
