    Acoustic emission (AE) technology is a promising approach to non-intrusively measure the size distribution of particles in a pneumatic suspension. This paper presents an experimental study of the AE sensing technology coupled with signal processing algorithms for on-line particle sizing. The frequency characteristics of the AE signals under different experimental conditions are studied and compared. Initially, the characteristics of the background noise and AE signals are compared in the frequency domain for different air velocities and particle feeding rates. Through short-term energy analysis the working features of the suction unit and the vibration feeder are revealed. To find the effective characteristic frequency band of the AE signals, a multiple scanning and accumulation method assisted with a Savitzky–Golay smoothing filter is used to denoise the power spectra of the signals. Wavelet analysis is also deployed to denoise the signals. The denoising performance of different wavelet parameters (wavelet function, decomposition level and thresholding) is compared in terms of signal-to-noise ratio and signal smoothness. Finally, particle size is predicted through a neural network with energy fraction extracted through wavelet analysis. Experimental results demonstrate that the relative error of the particle sizing system is no greater than 23%.

    Mass flow rate measurement of pneumatically conveyed particles is desirable for the optimal control of many industrial processes. The unpredicted variation of moisture content in particles affects the accuracy of mass flow measurement of particles in enclosed pipelines using electrostatic electrodes. In this study, the characteristics of measured electrostatic signals from particle flow under different flow conditions are analysed to study the effect of moisture content on the mass flow rate measurement. The measurement principle of ring-shaped electrostatic electrodes, the effects of moisture content on electrification of solid particles, and the experimental setup used in the study are presented. Two types of electrostatic electrodes with different axial widths and structure are adopted to measure the electrostatic signals of nonporous glass beads and porous activated carbon powder on the vertical pipeline of a 74 mm bore gas–solid two-phase flow test rig under various moisture content, mass flow rate and conveying velocity conditions. The experimental results indicate that the amplitude and frequency characteristics of the electrostatic signals change with the moisture content. The deviation of mass flow measurement that caused by the variation of moisture content is analysed, and a recalibration process is demonstrated to be effective for the improvement of measurement accuracy.

    Abstract The combustion characteristics of individual coal particles are the basis for a deep understanding of the macroscopic pulverised coal combustion in power plant boilers. This work proposes a quantitative method to characterise the combustion behaviours of individual pulverised coal particles by measuring a set of physical parameters from digital images of the particles. The combustion process of pulverised particles of bituminous coal in a visual drop tube furnace was recorded by a high-speed camera with a frame rate of 6200 frames per second. An improved-Canny algorithm was developed to extract the combustion zones of a coal particle in both the volatile and char combustion phases. Using the improved-Canny and Otsu algorithms, the unburned part of the particle was identified in the volatile combustion phase. Characteristic parameters of coal particles, including the area, brightness, length, width and aspect ratio of volatile flame, and falling velocity, were derived from the processed images. The results obtained show that the volatile and char combustion took place successively and the volatile matter was combusted almost as soon as it was released. The particle travelled upward for around 14 ms during the early stage of combustion due to the influence of devolatilisation and volatile combustion. The particle also exhibited a slight difference in the rotation frequency at different combustion phases.

    The measurement of key parameters of biomass–coal particles in a pneumatic conveying pipeline at a power plant presents a significant challenge due to the inherent complexity of the dilute particle flow and differences in physical properties between the different kinds of fuels. This paper presents the latest development in on-line continuous measurement of mean particle velocity, concentration and particle size distribution of pulverised fuel using multi-channel electrostatic sensing and digital imaging techniques. An integrated instrumentation system has been implemented to achieve the intended measurement of pulverised fuel particles. Comprehensive tests were conducted on a 150 mm bore horizontal pipe section of a large scale test facility using pulverised coal and biomass–coal blends. The results suggest that the characteristics of the pulverized fuel flow depend on the flow velocity and biomass proportion in the mixture and, to a large extent, on the biomass properties. It is found that coal particles travel faster and carry more electrostatic charge than biomass–coal blends. As more biomass particles (up to 20% by weight) are added to the flow, the particle velocity reduces, the electrostatic charge level decreases, and the flow becomes less stable in comparison with coal flow.

    The measurement of key parameters of biomass–coal particles in a pneumatic conveying pipeline at a power plant presents a significant challenge due to the inherent complexity of the dilute particle flow and differences in physical properties between the different kinds of fuels. This paper presents the latest development in on-line continuous measurement of mean particle velocity, concentration and particle size distribution of pulverised fuel using multi-channel electrostatic sensing and digital imaging techniques. An integrated instrumentation system has been implemented to achieve the intended measurement of pulverised fuel particles. Comprehensive tests were conducted on a 150 mm bore horizontal pipe section of a large scale test facility using pulverised coal and biomass–coal blends. The results suggest that the characteristics of the pulverized fuel flow depend on the flow velocity and biomass proportion in the mixture and, to a large extent, on the biomass properties. It is found that coal particles travel faster and carry more electrostatic charge than biomass–coal blends. As more biomass particles (up to 20% by weight) are added to the flow, the particle velocity reduces, the electrostatic charge level decreases, and the flow becomes less stable in comparison with coal flow.

    The particle size distribution of pulverized fuel in pneumatic conveying pipelines is an important physical characteristic closely related to mill energy economy, fuel flow property, combustion efficiency and pollutant emissions. In order to determine the size distribution of pneumatically conveyed fuel particles on an online continuous basis, an instrumentation system based on acoustic emission (AE) method is developed. This method extracts information about particle size distribution from the impulsive AE signals generated by the impacts of particles with a metallic waveguide introduced into the particle flow. Analytical modeling of the particle impact is performed in order to establish the relationship between the particle size and the peak AE voltage. With the particle velocity obtained from an electrostatic velocimetry system and the pulse magnitude determined using a peak detection algorithm, the particle size is computed directly using the developed model. Experimental results obtained with glass beads on a laboratory-scale particle flow test rig demonstrate that the system is capable of discriminating particles of different sizes from the AE signals. The system has several appealing features such as online continuous measurement, high sensitivity, simple sensor structure and low cost, which make it well suited for industrial applications.

    A novel electrostatic sensor array was designed to measure particle concentration downstream of a swirl burner. The fundamental mechanism and the primary constituent elements of the sensor array were described. The root-mean-square magnitude of the measured electrostatic voltage was determined as an indication of the particle concentration. The accuracy of the electrostatic sensor array was calibrated by the optical fluctuation method. Local particle concentrations at different cross-sections of the measuring chamber were measured to investigate the diffusion characteristic of the pulverized coal particles. Electrostatic sensor array showed its ability in the field measurement in this work. The measurements indicated that the velocity of the inner secondary air had a significant effect on the diffusion of the pulverized coal particles. The particles concentrated in the center of the cross-section after leaving the burner. With the development of the gas–solid two-phase flow, the particles distributed like a ring shape. The radius of the particle ring increased with the increase of the velocity of the inner secondary air. But the effect of the velocity of outer secondary air on the radius of the particle ring is very slight. The maximum radius occurred when the velocity of inner secondary air was 21 m/s, which was favorable for stable combustion.
