The Detection of Water Flow in Rectangular Microchannels by Terahertz Time Domain Spectroscopy

Abstract: Flow characteristics of water were tested in a rectangular microchannel for Reynolds number (Re) between 0 and 446 by terahertz time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS). Output THz peak trough intensities and the calculated absorbances of the flow were analyzed theoretically. The results show a rapid change for Re < 250 and a slow change as Re increases, which is caused by the early transition from laminar to transition flow beginning nearly at Re = 250. Then this finding is confirmed in the plot of the flow resista… Show more

“…The theoretical values of the effective medium model agreed with the experimental results . In addition, terahertz (THz) spectroscopy, as a new noncontact technique, has been proposed for predicting subtle changes of water in emulsions owing to the sensitivity of the THz wave to the fluctuations of water dipole moments occurring on the picosecond (ps) timescale. THz time-domain spectroscopy has been used to measure the water content ranging from 50.05 to 100% in crude oil and to characterize the distribution of oil, air, and water simultaneously . Subsequently, combined with 3D printing technology, oil–water mixtures with water content from 1.8 to 90.6% were measured and analyzed with the THz parameters .…”

“…THz-TDS has been used to characterize oil disaggregation under magnetic field and analyze the state of oil-water two-phase flow. [20,34,35] In this work, THz-TDS method is used for identification of various crude oils. The VP, time delay, refractive index and absorption coefficient are analyzed.…”

“…Recently, optical technology has been used for evaluation and classification of crude oil. A series of studies have addressed the flow of oil and water, ,,, measurement of water content in crude oil, characterization of the process of pyrolysis in oil shale, and evaluation of such resources as coal, fuel oil, and model oils. , In this work, LIV improved the identification effect and provided a more direct and effective way to identify different oils. High oxygen content is the cause of the pronounced electrical charge in crude oil leading to large V p .…”

“…Optical technology plays an important role in probing crude oils. Laser-induced ultrasonic technique is here proposed to characterize the process of pyrolysis in the oil shale, and it is also used to measure the full-range water content up to 100%. , In addition, terahertz technology was used to characterize the water content and distribution in high-water-cut crude oil, , probe disaggregation of crude oil in a magnetic field, and evaluate pattern transitions of oil-water two-phase flow. , …”
