Real-Time Ultrasonic Process Tomography of Flowing Mixtures

This paper presents a generic application study of the simple but fundamental limitations in the industrial exploitation of ultrasonic process tomography to dynamic flowing mixture processes. The background to two-dimensional ultrasonic process tomography is reviewed and the key implementation aspects which uniquely limit its performance are explored. Simple descriptors are presented, which allow the assessment of the applicability of ultrasound process tomography to particular applications.
