Method for measurement of two-phase flow gas holdup based on ultrasonic two-frequency signal

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for measurement of two-phase flow gas holdup based on an ultrasonic two-frequency signal. The method comprises the steps of: arranging an ultrasonic transmitting probe and an ultrasonic receiving probe respectively at both ends of a section of straight pipeline needing two-phase flow gas holdup measurement; by means of the ultrasonic transmitting probe, generating two ultrasonic signals that are propagated along the fluid in the straight pipeline and have the excitation frequencies of a first excitation frequency and a second excitation frequency respectively; detecting the characteristic parameters of the received two ultrasonic signals by the ultrasonic receiving probe; and calculating the gas holdup according to the first excitation frequency, the second excitation frequency, the pure liquid propagation velocity, the resonant frequency of bubbles in the two-phase flow, the bubble vibration damping and the characteristic parameters of the two ultrasonic signals. The ultrasonic probes are installed on the outer wall of the straight pipeline, and are not needed to be arranged in the two-phase flow in the pipeline, thus realizing non-contact measurement of the two-phase flow gas holdup. The data processing amount is very small, and flow of the two-phase flow in the pipeline is not hindered in the measurement process.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of gas content measurement of two-phase flow, in particular to a method for measuring gas content of two-phase flow based on ultrasonic dual-frequency signals. Background technique [0002] Two-phase flow is a very common flow pattern in nature and industrial processes. Due to the complexity of the flow pattern, how to accurately measure the gas content of gas-liquid two-phase flow has always been an important issue to be solved urgently in scientific research and industrial processes. [0003] The methods for measuring the gas content of several gas-liquid two-phase flows recorded in the prior art and their shortcomings are as follows: [0004] 1. Li proposed a method for measuring the gas content of two-phase flow based on γ-ray. The working principle is that when the γ-ray penetrates the fluid, its amplitude will be attenuated, and the attenuation degree is related to the gas content of the two-phase flow. By dete...
