Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for determining one or more fluid flow parameters for a fluid flowing within a pipe is provided. The fluid is a mixture of solid particles and gas. The method includes the steps of: a) providing a meter operable to determine the velocity of the fluid flow through the pipe, which meter is substantially insensitive to the particulate/gas mass ratio of the fluid flow; b) determining the velocity of the fluid flow within the pipe using the meter; and c) determining a particulate/gas mass ratio using a density value for the gas within the flow and the determined fluid flow velocity.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A signal processor for determining one or more fluid flow parameters for a fluid flow within a pipe, the fluid flow comprising a mixture of solid particles and gas, the signal processor comprising: at least one module configured to: receive signals indicative of unsteady pressure variations within the pipe, the signals being generated by a flow meter that is substantially insensitive to a particulate/gas mass ratio of the fluid flow; determine the veloci…
