Gas Temperature Measurement Using Ultrasonic Waves

Temperature Gradients and Materials Properties Measurements using Ultrasonic Guided Waves

A novel technique for the measurement of Elastic Moduli of materials as well as measurement of temperature gradients using ultrasonic waveguides is described here. The range of temperature measurement was from room temperature to maximum utility temperature of waveguides or maximum measurable value of thermocouple temperature, typically beyond 1000°C. In this work, thermocouple wires have been ...

Ultrasonic Waves on Gas Hydrates Experiments

Ultrasonic measurement of gas flow using electrostatic transducers.

Ultrasonic gas flowmeters typically use narrowband piezoelectric transducer arrangements for interrogating the flow of gas in a pipe. In this work, the suitability of broadband electrostatic transducers operating at frequencies of up to 1 MHz for ultrasonic measurement of gas flow has been investigated. The transit time method of ultrasonic gas flow measurement was adopted and experiments were ...

Ultrasonic Flow Measurement with Integrated Temperature Measurement Compensation

Compensation for ultrasonic flow measurement has increasingly become the trend for applications that call for higher accuracy and tighter repeatability. Temperature is a variable that tends to have a significant impact on performance. Geometric dimension changes due to thermal expansion and contraction, as well as fluid dynamics, are impacted by temperature and thus have an influence on overall...

Hand Gesture Recognition Using Ultrasonic Waves

This paper presents a new method for detecting and classifying a predefined set of hand gestures using a single transmitter and a single receiver utilizing a linearly frequency modulated ultrasonic signal. Gestures are identified based on estimated range and received signal strength (RSS) of reflected signal from the hand. Support Vector Machine (SVM) was used for gesture detection and classifi...
