Inertial measurement unit as a tool within dense phase pneumatic conveying. Investigation into velocity measurement accuracy, pressure and velocity relationships in slug flow

handle: 1959.13/1446755
Abstract This paper presents the results of using an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to study various dynamic relationships in horizontal slug flow pneumatic conveying. The accuracy of the IMU was assessed and compared to particle image velocimetry (PIV) and once good agreement was confirmed it was used to investigate various aspects of slug flow. Relative movement between core particles and slugs tails and heads was assessed using relative pressures and quantified times spent in a slug. It was found that the propagation of particles backwards through a slug is relatively constant. Pressure-velocity relationship was observed that was theorised to be related to variations in stationary layer ahead of the slugs. Observations of further nuanced features of slug motion are also included to demonstrate the capabilities of IMUs in capturing the many dynamic aspects of the flow.
