This volume brings together the most original and productive specialists who have conducted research on various aspects of instrumentation for particle-fluid flow systems. They might be associated with universities or industries, in the disciplines of chemical, mechanical, civil, aerospace engineering, and environmental and material science, as well as pharmaceutical processing.
Particle-fluid flow has been in existence in industrial processes since the nineteenth century. Applications include pneumatic conveying, which deals with pipe flow of solid material transported by a gas, slurry transport and processing of solids in a fluid. The necessity of predicting blower or pumping power for a given amount of material to be conveyed led to measurements of pressure drops and attempts in the correlation of physical parameters. That anomaly exists in the correlation in terms of simple parameter is one of the motivations for the exploration into the details of distributions in density and velocity and the present state of development of instrumentation.
A trend as seen in this book is the increased usage of electronic computers and the availability of high sampling frequency for data coding in their fluctuations. The trend is also toward non-invasive measurements using acoustic, laser, nuclear and electromagnetic devices. Results from these advanced techniques have given a new perspective on the primary standard of isokinetic sampling. At the same time, measurements on particle cloud properties has extended from observation of average dynamic properties of a cloud of particles to local instantaneous properties. This has made possible determination of process parameter such as transport properties, stress systems in particle clouds, and other parameters of phase interactions.
The text has been arranged in the following sequence from basic to futuristic:
Introduction
Isokinetic sampling
Electrostatic measurements
Fiber optics
Sonics and ultrasonics
Electromagnetics and pulsed neutron
Laser measurements
Particle imaging velocimetry
Radioactive tracer
These techniques cover a wide range of particle sizes and concentrations, from tracers of fluid motion to packed beds.
The high scientific level of these contributions does not preclude considerations of applying various techniques by engineers for applications in field measurements and process evaluation. Thanks are due to all participants in the preparation of this volume of stimulating ideas that should lead to many future innovations. The extra help of Professor Robert S. Brodkey of the Ohio State University is greatly appreciated
