A kind of novel multi-modal self-adapted sensor system
Technical field
The present invention relates to the two-phase flow measurement technical field, particularly relate to a kind of novel multi-modal self-adapted sensor system.
Background technology
The diphasic flow system extensively exists in nature and industrial processes.For example, sand is raised in natural desert, fluviatic silt particle all down, and aerial flue dust disperse, rain hail are handed over, and to soak etc. all be the two-phase flow phenomenon relevant with the human lives.In commercial production, common two-phase flow mainly contains several kinds of gas/liquid, gas/solid, liquid/solid, liquid/liquid two-phase.Is exactly typical gas/fixed double phase flow like burning in industrial generation, the smelting process with the conveying and the winding-up of coal dust; Oil/gas in the oil exploitation process/current are exactly gas/liquid two-phase, are also referred to as three component stream; Milk and water are known as liquid/liquid two-phase in the milk process; Mud and water are known as liquid/fixed double phase flow in the potting process; Also all there is gas/gas-liquid two-phase liquid in many chemical processes simultaneously.Two-phase flow system is the nonlinear dynamic system of a complicacy; The difficulty of its parameter detecting is bigger; Under many circumstances; The diphasic stream parameter detection technique has become a conditionality factor of two-phase flow research, and therefore, the research of relevant two-phase flow has become the front subject that gives very big concern both at home and abroad at present.
Describe the diphasic flow parameter remove describe that single-phase mobile parameter such as speed, pressure fall, flow, temperature etc., also to increase some new parameters.Diphasic stream parameter commonly used mainly comprises: (1) flow pattern, claim fluidised form again, i.e. mobile form or the structure of fluid; (2) divide phase content, in biphase gas and liquid flow, divide phase content to be called voidage or void fraction again; In Dual-Phrase Distribution of Gas olid, divide phase content to claim voidage, solid content or concentration again; (3) speed is because there is relative velocity in the space in the diphasic flow, so except describing with the average velocity of mixed fluid, also must adopt the phase-splitting flow velocity to represent; (4) flow, different according to adopting system of units, can represent with volume flow or mass rate etc.For each phase flow rate, available phase-splitting volume flow, phase-splitting mass rate are described.For the flow of two-phase mixture, available average volume flow and the various parameters of mean mass flux are described; (5) density, in diphasic flow, the average density of potpourri also is a parameter commonly used, can be calculated with the branch phase content by each phase density and try to achieve; (6) pressure falls, and it also is a basic parameter in the diphasic flow that pressure falls.It is the factor that the two-phase flow system practical applications must be considered that the mobile pressure that produces of two-phase flow amalgam falls, and its Theoretical Calculation and on-line measurement play an important role to the application and the parameter detecting of polyphasic flow system.In the above-mentioned major parameter, flow pattern, branch phase content and flow are that three most important whiles also are the parameters that is difficult to measure.Therefore, the measurement of these three parameters is the emphasis of two-phase flow detection technique research always.
The technical route that two-phase flow detection is both at home and abroad at present adopted is broadly divided into three major types: 1) traditional single-phase flow detection technique and the instrument of utilization realizes two-phase flow measurement.For example, multiple single-phase flowmeters such as differential pressure, turbine, vortex street, target formula, volume, ultrasound wave, electromagnetism, Coriolis force are applied to the measurement of two-phase flow or polyphasic flow.Measure form to different combinations, need set up corresponding test model, when using, must consider service condition and measuring accuracy simultaneously.As reaching 50% air water system when void fraction, use the error of turbo flow meter can reach 20%, but when void fraction less than 5% the time, then error is little of can not need revising and direct application.In the slurry flow measurement, when solid concentration reaches 8%, still can satisfy accuracy requirement, but when reining in flowmeter survey with ultrasound wave is multispectral, precision is just very poor with repeatability with electromagnetic flowmeter.Reach 10% gas/water system and oil content at void fraction and reach 30% oil-water system, use the vortex shedding flow meter still can stable operation.Reach 15% gas or water system when coriolis flow meter is used for void fraction, its measuring error can reach 20%.2) flexible measurement method that combines with new signal processing technology and existing detection means solves the two-phase flow measurement problem.So-called flexible measurement method (Soft Sensor) is to utilize supporting process variable that is prone to on-line measurement and the method that off-line analysis information provides the On-line Estimation of main procedure parameter.It mainly is incorporated into the diphasic stream parameter field tests, the two-phase flow test problem that solution has complicacy, uncertainty and is difficult to accurately describe with mathematical model with fuzzy mathematics, state estimation, procedure parameter identification, artificial neural network, wavelet transformation, pattern-recognition, spectrum estimation in modern age scheduling theory problem.Auxiliary variable was selected in the middle of soft-measuring technique mainly comprised, data processing, and soft-sensing model is set up and soft-sensing model on-line correction several links, and wherein, it is the soft-measuring technique most important component that soft-sensing model is set up.3) employing emerging technology in modern age is carried out measuring two-phase flow parameter.Nearly decades, people with modern age many emerging technologies as: radiant rays technology, laser technology, optical fiber technology, nuclear magnetic resonance technique, ultrasonic technology, microwave technology, spectral technique, novel tracer technique, correlation technique and process chromatographic imaging technology etc. are applied to measuring two-phase flow parameter.For example: abroad; Gamma-radiation, beta rays and X-ray, the industrial instrument of neutron ray type commercialization based on radiant rays absorption or scattering principle are the important means that two-phase flow or polyphasic flow concentration of component are measured, and wherein use the most extensive with the gamma-radiation densitometer.
Process chromatographic imaging technology (Process Tomography; Be abbreviated as PT) be that the formal formation and development of twentieth century the mid-80 is got up, a kind of is the procedure parameter two dimension of main object or the online in real time detection technique of distributed in three dimensions situation with two-phase flow or polyphasic flow.It adopts non-intruding or non-contact mode measuring; Can on-line continuous two dimension or three-dimensional visual information be provided; And can pass through the characteristic parameter that some relevant tested two-phase fluids are extracted in further processing; As carry out feature extraction and flow pattern identification, divide the measurement of phase content or concentration parameter, speed etc.Therefore recent two decades comes, and the PT technology has received domestic and international scientific worker's common concern.The PT technology has huge applications to be worth at the aspects such as monitoring, environmental monitoring and control that flowing of two-phase fluid reaches reaction, detachment process.
Important branch-electricity imaging (Electrical Tomography as the PT technology; ET) be based on the novel measuring technique of Theory of Electromagnetic Field; Have radiationless, non-intruding, response speed is fast, with low cost and advantage such as visualization measurement, in commercial measurement and medical monitoring, has tempting development prospect.The variation of characteristics such as its ultimate principle is that the electricity that utilizes the thing field is led, electric capacity or electromagnetism is obtained the thing field information and the tomography that carries out.ERT (Electrical Resistance Tomography; Abbreviation ERT), capacitance chromatography imaging (Electrical Capacitance Tomography; Be called for short ECT) through the development of recent two decades, entered into the industrial applied research stage at present.
The physical basis of ERT technology is based on different mediums and has different electrical conductivity, judges the object distribution of conductivity that is in responsive and just can learn the medium distribution situation of thing field.When the distribution of conductivity then and there changes; The distribution of current field also can change thereupon; The variation that causes a built-in potential to distribute, thus the borderline measuring voltage of field domain also will change, that is the boundary survey change in voltage has comprised the information that field domain internal conductance rate changes.The contrast of correspondence position measuring voltage under boundary survey voltage through practical object and the barnyard state, utilization respective imaging algorithm just can reconstruct the distribution of conductivity of practical object, realizes visualization measurement.Because ERT requires the external phase of measurand to conduct electricity, so its application generally is gas/liquid two-phase, liquid/liquid two-phase or liquid/fixed double phase flow etc.It is immeasurable for gas/fixed double phase flow.
ECT is that utilization is positioned over pipeline or process vessel capacitance sensor array on every side detects the subtle change of the two-phase medium specific inductive capacity distribution that causes when two-phase fluid flows, thereby reconstructs the distributed image in pipeline or process vessel cross section.ECT is the electricity tomography that grows up the earliest, existing online application instrument system.Aspect the wind-force conveying of granule materials; Utilization ECT system can carry out visualization measurement to the operating condition of the wind-force induction system of granular material and lump material (close operate mutually); Can obtain concentration information preferably; If utilize electrostatic transducer to pick up the mobile electric charge random noise signal line correlation analyzing and processing of going forward side by side again, can realize fluid-velocity survey, so just can realize the mass flow measurement of gas/fixed double phase flow.Utilize ECT also can measure, but ECT can not survey gas/liquid two-phase, liquid/liquid two-phase or the liquid/fixed double phase flow of external phase conduction to low moisture oil/water two-phase flow.
At present; Both at home and abroad aspect gas/fixed double phase flow measurement; Utilize capacitance chromatography imaging (ECT) technology to survey the close concentration of operation mutually, utilize electrostatic methods to survey the speed that solid particle flows again, the existing scholar of method of merging the measurement of discharge that gets up then is engaged in research in this respect.As: there are the W.Q.Yang of Univ Manchester UK, Chinese University Of Tianjin kingization auspicious what be in a leading position aspect the ECT research; Electrostatic method test the speed be in a leading position aspect the research the Y.Yan of British Kent university etc. arranged, but they just have the sensing system that is in a leading position in separately research field.Aspect gas/liquid two-phase or oil/gas/water gaging; Utilize the sensing system that capacitance chromatography imaging (ECT) and ERT (ERT) are merged mutually that scholar's research is also arranged both at home and abroad, like the Chinese Wang Huaxiang of University Of Tianjin professor, the W.Q.Yang of Univ Manchester UK professor, professor M.Wang of Leeds, England university etc.
Yet in the above-mentioned solution, Sensor section especially, otherwise can only be used for gas/fixed double phase flow measures; Can only be used for gas/liquid two-phase measures; Also just say and use the different sensor system according to different measurand needs, obviously, existing many inconvenience in the application of these measurements; Simultaneously, make that also the cost of whole measurement is higher.
Therefore, need the urgent technical matters that solves of those skilled in the art to be exactly at present: how can propose a kind of method or system with innovating, to have the inconvenience that exists in the measurement now to solve, thereby can accomplish the measurement of two-phase flow kinetoplast fast and effectively.
