    • In industrial sensing applications at least one parameter of at least one fluid in a pipe 12 is measured using a spatial array of acoustic pressure sensors 14,16,18 placed at predetermined axial locations x1, x2, x3 along the pipe 12. The pressure sensors 14,16,18 provide acoustic pressure signals P1(t), P2(t), P3(t) on lines 20,22,24 which are provided to signal processing logic 60 which determines the speed of sound amix of the fluid (or mixture) in the pipe 12 using acoustic spatial array signal processing techniques with the direction of propagation of the acoustic signals along the longitudinal axis of the pipe 12. Numerous spatial array-processing techniques may be employed to determine the speed of sound amix. The speed of sound amix is provided to logic 48, which calculates the percent composition of the mixture, e.g., water fraction, or any other parameter of the mixture, or fluid, which is related to the sound speed amix. The logic 60 may also determine the Mach number Mx of the fluid. The acoustic pressure signals P1(t), P2(t), P3(t) measured are lower frequency (and longer wavelength) signals than those used for ultrasonic flow meters, and thus is more tolerant to inhomogeneities in the flow. No external source is required and thus may operate using passive listening. The invention will work with arbitrary sensor spacing and with as few as two sensors if certain information is known about the acoustic properties of the system. The sensor may also be combined with an instrument, an opto-electronic converter and a controller in an industrial process control system.
    • 在工业感测应用中,使用放置在沿着管12的预定轴向位置x1,x2,x3处的声压传感器14,16,18的空间阵列来测量管道12中的至少一种流体的至少一个参数。压力传感器 提供给信号处理逻辑60的线20,22,24上的声压信号P1(t),P2(t),P3(t),该信号处理逻辑60确定流体的声音amix的速度(或 混合物)使用声空间阵列信号处理技术,其中声信号沿着管12的纵轴传播的方向。可以采用许多空间阵列处理技术来确定声音的速度。 声音amix的速度被提供给逻辑48,逻辑48计算混合物的组成百分比,例如水分数,或与声速amix相关的混合物或流体的任何其它参数。 逻辑60还可以确定流体的马赫数Mx。 测得的声压信号P1(t),P2(t),P3(t)比用于超声波流量计的声压信号P1(t),P2(t),P3(t)更低频率(和更长波长)的信号,因此更容忍流量的不均匀性。 不需要外部来源,因此可以使用被动收听操作。 如果关于系统的声学特性的某些信息已知,本发明将适用于任意的传感器间距,并且具有少至两个传感器。 传感器还可以与工业过程控制系统中的仪器,光电转换器和控制器组合。
