AI summary

A waist-shaped throttling photon quantum miscible phase flowmeter includes a photon quantum phase fraction device, a photon quantum source, and a photon quantum detector distributed opposite to the photon quantum source, for detecting an energy signal of a single photon quantum emitted by the photon quantum source. A flow channel inside the photon quantum phase fraction device includes a first variable-diameter section, a waist-shaped throat section having a waist-shaped-hole shaped cross section in a direction perpendicular to an axial direction of the flow channel, and a second variable-diameter section that are connected in sequence. Inner diameters of the first and second variable-diameter sections gradually decrease from an end away from the throat section to an end close to the throat section. The photon quantum source and the photon quantum detector are both provided on the photon quantum phase fraction device and located at the throat section.
