Abstract

A non-intrusive cross-correlation method to measure the particle velocities in dilute phase pneumatic conveying is described. The cross-correlation function generated gives information about the time it takes for a particle to travel between two optimally placed measurement planes. Experiments and CFD simulations are used to estimate an optimal inter-plane distance for various flow conditions.
