Understanding Two-Phase Flow Measurement Techniques

This course covers the complexities and challenges of measuring parameters in two-phase flow systems. For instance, it delves into the intricacies of pressure drop measurements, void fraction measurements, and flow pattern estimations. The course provides a comprehensive understanding of different measurement techniques, including analytical models, volume measurement, radioactive absorption, scattering, and impedance techniques. It also explores emerging techniques like microwave absorption, infrared absorption, neutron noise analysis, and optical methods. The course highlights the importance of selecting the appropriate technique based on factors like flow homogeneity, flow passage shape, and whether the measurement needs to be non-intrusive or transient. It concludes with a discussion on the design of probes for identifying flow patterns.
