Toward Multiphase Flow Decomposition Based on Electrical Capacitance Tomography Sensors

We describe an approach, based on electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) sensors, to decompose and continuously monitor multiphase flow components (fractional areas or volumes) in mixtures containing conducting phases. The proposed approach exploits the Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars effect at distinct frequencies to reconstruct each phase of a multiphase flow and is also utilized to estimate the fractio...
