An Investigation of Void Fraction and Dispersed-Phase Velocity Measurement Techniques
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Research efforts have been oriented toward investigation of ways to measure enthalpy down hole. These efforts have thus far led to methods applicable for determining the void fraction and dispersed-phase velocity, which are two essential factors required for calculations of flowing enthalpy. Experiments with temperature, resistivity and optical sensors have been carried out. The resistivity and optical experiments have yielded successful estimates for dispersed-phase velocity. Measurements based on temperature have not as of yet proven to be successful. Bulk estimates of void fraction based on impedance of two-phase flow surrounding parallel plates have also been investigated and revealed somewhat promising results.
