Electrostatic Sensor for Real–Time Mass Flow Rate Measurement of Particle Conveying in Pneumatic Pipeline

Abstract

This paper discussed the electrostatic sensors that have been constructed for real–time mass flow rate measurement of particle conveying in a P_neumatic pipeline. Many industrial processes require continuous, smooth, and consistent delivery of solids materials with a high accuracy of controlled flow rate. This requirement can only be achieved by installing a proper measurement system. Electrostatic sensor offers the most inexpensive and simplest means of measuring solids flows in pipes. Key words: Electrostatic sensor, cross-correlation, peripheral velocity
