Resistance/Capacitance Liquid Velocity Measurement Technique

The technique will use a probe that measures the resistance or capacitance of the liquid properties in a reactor. The probe will be inserted into the reactor. A different of electrical properties will be injected to the reactor. The probe will measure the signals and send to data acquisition and computer. The data will be analyses the signals which are a local velocity. The different of gas and liquid superficial velocity will be controlled to get the trickling and pulsating regimes. The technique will study the liquid velocity regime in a reactor
