-In this paper, a high resolution capacitance sensor system was developed for two-phase flow void fraction measurements and flow pattern identification. The circuit uses the LC approach whose oscillation frequency changes as the capacitance sensor value fluctuates. This change in frequency is measured and converted in to a capacitance value. The electrodes' excitation frequency is high enough to overcome the errors involved when conductive fluids are used. A LabView program was designed to interface the circuit and to record the data collected. The capacitance sensor was built with four concave electrodes and was shielded with a copper cage. The system was tested on a vertical air-water two phase flow pipe with 1.5 inch outer diameter and 1.25 inch inner diameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
