The second aspect of the invention provides an ultrasonic supercritical carbon dioxide flow measuring method, comprising the following steps:
S1, acquiring physical parameters of supercritical carbon dioxide, wherein the physical parameters comprise medium density and medium static sound velocity, and the medium static sound velocity is the propagation velocity of ultrasonic waves in the static supercritical carbon dioxide.
S2, acquiring ultrasonic sound velocity between a first point and a second point on the supercritical carbon dioxide flow path.
And S3, acquiring the actual flow velocity of the medium of the supercritical carbon dioxide according to the difference value of the ultrasonic sound velocity between the first point location and the second point location and the static sound velocity of the medium.
And S4, obtaining the mass flow of the flow channel where the supercritical carbon dioxide is located according to the cross-sectional area of the flow channel where the supercritical carbon dioxide is located, the density of the medium and the actual flow velocity of the medium.
Specifically, in step S3, the actual flow velocity of the medium of the supercritical carbon dioxide is the flow velocity of the supercritical carbon dioxide relative to the flow channel.
Specifically, in step S4, the calculation formula of the mass flow rate of the supercritical carbon dioxide is:
Mass flow = flow channel cross-sectional area x media density x media actual flow rate. According to the formula, the supercritical carbon dioxide mass flow at the specific underground layer can be obtained.
If the medium flows along the propagation direction of the ultrasonic wave, the ultrasonic sound velocity between two points on the medium flow path is the superposition value of the static sound velocity of the medium and the actual flow velocity of the medium, and the actual flow velocity of the medium can be obtained on the premise that the ultrasonic sound velocity between the two points and the static sound velocity of the medium are known. Based on this principle, after acquiring the medium static sound velocity of the supercritical carbon dioxide and the ultrasonic sound velocity between the first point and the second point on the supercritical carbon dioxide flow path, the medium actual flow velocity of the supercritical carbon dioxide can be acquired. And obtaining the mass flow of the flow channel where the supercritical carbon dioxide is located according to the cross-sectional area of the flow channel where the supercritical carbon dioxide is located, the medium density and the obtained actual flow velocity of the medium. By the supercritical carbon dioxide flow measuring method, the supercritical carbon dioxide mass flow at a specific underground layer can be measured in real time, and accurate reference data can be provided for oilfield development engineering.
Further, the obtaining physical parameters of the supercritical carbon dioxide in step S1 specifically includes:
s11, acquiring real-time temperature and real-time pressure of supercritical carbon dioxide;
and S12, obtaining the medium density and the medium static sound velocity of the supercritical carbon dioxide according to the real-time temperature, the real-time pressure and the corresponding relation between the physical property parameters of the supercritical carbon dioxide and the real-time temperature and the real-time pressure.
Physical parameters (medium density, medium viscosity, medium static sound velocity, etc.) of supercritical carbon dioxide are affected by pressure and temperature, so that the flow rate of supercritical carbon dioxide cannot be calculated simply according to the sound velocity by applying a conventional flow rate calculation formula. Specifically, in this embodiment, after acquiring the real-time temperature and the real-time pressure of the supercritical carbon dioxide, a database of NIST (national institute of standards and technology) is queried, in which the corresponding relationship between the physical parameters of the supercritical carbon dioxide and the real-time temperature and the real-time pressure is recorded, and the medium density and the medium static sound velocity of the supercritical carbon dioxide at the real-time temperature and the implementation pressure are queried according to the database.

s21, acquiring the propagation time of ultrasonic waves between a first point location and a second point location;
S22, acquiring ultrasonic sound velocity between the first point and the second point on the supercritical carbon dioxide flow path according to the propagation time and the distance between the first point and the second point.
On the premise that the distance between the first point location and the second point location and the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave between the first point location and the second point location are known, the distance is divided by the time to obtain the ultrasonic sound velocity between the first point location and the second point location on the supercritical carbon dioxide flow path, and then the actual flow velocity of the medium of the supercritical carbon dioxide is obtained according to the ultrasonic sound velocity and the static velocity of the medium obtained in the step S1.
Further, when the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave between the first point position and the second point position is obtained, the first point position is controlled to transmit the ultrasonic wave, the second point position is controlled to receive the ultrasonic wave transmitted by the first point position, the time difference between transmission and reception is the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave between the first point position and the second point position, and/or the second point position is controlled to transmit the ultrasonic wave, the first point position is controlled to receive the ultrasonic wave transmitted by the second point position, and the time difference between transmission and reception is the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave between the first point position and the second point position.
The flow direction of the supercritical carbon dioxide is from the first point to the second point, the ultrasonic wave emitted by the first point is controlled to be emitted by the first point, the ultrasonic wave emitted by the first point is controlled to be received by the second point is defined to be forward measured, the ultrasonic wave emitted by the second point is controlled to be emitted by the second point, the ultrasonic wave emitted by the second point is controlled to be received by the first point, and in practical application, the forward measurement and the reverse measurement can be combined to obtain the propagation time of the ultrasonic wave between the first point and the second point, the error can be reduced, and finally the error can be controlled within 1%.
