Online prediction of mass flow rate of solids in dense phase pneumatic conveying systems using multiple pressure transmitters and multivariate calibration

Abstract

The results show that it is not necessary to use all the pressure transmitters available to predict mass flow rate. This paper presents promising results using only 5 pressure transmitters, Pressure transmitters are inexpensive, reliable and easy to use. and are widely used in the industry. This method has been tested with different values of pressure and air flow rates, with equally promising results. All prediction results are validated with independent data. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
