“…It was suggested that the optimal length of electrodes in an ECT sensor should be the same as the inner diameter of the pipe for round-shape sensors and the width of pipe for squareshape sensors [8]. However, this conclusion is merely qualitative, without quantitative verification.…”

“…(2) Due to the increase in diameter, the 3D effect of electric field becomes serious. The size of electrodes must be optimised (Yang et al 1999, Peng et al 2005. 3The ECT sensor cables with a production-scale fluidised bed of large diameter are longer than with small-scale fluidised beds, resulting in larger stray capacitance .…”

Gas-solids fluidised beds are commonly used in particle-related processes, e.g. for coal combustion and gasification in the power industry, and coating and granulation process in the pharmaceutical industry. Because the operation efficiency depends on the gas-solids flow characteristics, it is necessary to investigate the flow behaviour. This paper is about application of process tomography, including electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) and microwave tomography (MWT), in multi-scale gas-solids fluidisation processes in the pharmaceutical and power industries. This is the first time that both ECT and MWT are applied for this purpose with multi-scales and complex structure. To evaluate the sensor design and image reconstruction and to investigate the effects of sensor structure and dimension on the image quality, a normalised sensitivity coefficient is introduced. In the meanwhile, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis based on a computational particle fluid dynamic (CPFD) model and a two-phase fluid model (TFM) is used. Part of the CPFD-TFM simulation results are compared and validated by experimental results from ECT and/or MWT. By both simulation and experiment, the complex flow hydrodynamic behaviour in different scales is analysed. Time-series capacitance data are analysed both in time and frequency domains to reveal the flow characteristics.
