Experimental Comparison Between Wire Mesh and Electrical Capacitance Tomography Sensors to Predict a Two-Phase Flow Behaviour and Patterns in Inclined Pipe

Two-phase flow behaviour and its patterns have a significant effect in many applications industry. Oil-gas is one of the two-phase types that petroleum power stations. An oil-gas been investigated an inclined pipe using two different tomography sensors: Wire Mesh sensor (WMS) Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT). A special experimental facility was designed built to operate tow-phase application with various angle inclination. set data were collected operating conditions which covered range superficial velocity gas (Usl) from 0.05 0.52 m/s liquid (Usg) 4.7 at atmospheric pressure room temperature. Three angles change pipe’s inclination 45, 60, 80-degree applied experiments. The Comparison between Sensor (ECT) completed experimentally. results revealed there good agreement sensors, however; WMS had higher frequency calculated 1000 frames per second compared ECT worked 200 second.
