Analogy application to nonuniform gas-solid flows

This report describes the measurement of high pressure solid/gas flow with a Micro-Motion meter, analyzes the effects of system-parameters on Micro-Motion signals, establishes calibration curves and pressure-drop correlations for the Micro-Motion flow-meter. The study shows that this meter could be used in measuring solid/gas flows inside a 0.0095 m, diameter pipe at high pressures, especially at solid loadings greater than 10. When the solid loading (pound of coal/pound of gas) was less than or equal to 10, pressure-drop tends to indicate a phase separation and a probable change in flow regime within the Micro-Motion Meter, which could have occurred at the meter's U-bend.
