Abstract:Flows of two immiscible liquids in horizontal pipes are often encountered in the petroleum industry. The complicated flow structures, which appear in horizontal oil-water two-phase flow, bring a great challenge to flow measurement. In this article, to investigate the feasibility of the double helix capacitance sensors for measuring the water holdup of the horizontal oil-water two-phase flow, the finiteelement method (FEM) is applied to analyze the sensitivity distributions of the sensors with the helical angle… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
