Abstract
En 中文
The electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) technique has been extensively studied for real-time tomographic imaging of various industrial processes. Due to the 'soft-field' and under-determined problems in the image reconstruction, the tomographic images of ECT are usually low in the spatial resolution when compared with its radioactive counterparts, i.e. $\gamma $ -ray tomography and computed tomography. This paper presents an ECT sensor that consists of 8 external electrodes and 8 internal electrodes, with enhanced image quality at the center of imaging region and better accuracy on phase fraction measurement. The internal electrodes are placed on cross planes inside the investigated vessel. In this way, the signal-to-noise ratio of measurement channels as well as image quality are improved. Numerical simulations show that the proposed sensor can achieve better reconstructed images than a conventional 12-electrode sensor. In addition, the phase fraction calculation using ECT data can also benefit from the internal electrodes and corresponding measurements, which is an important parameter for multiphase flow processes.
