✦ Synopsis

Tomographic signal processing has been added to a conventional electromagnetic flowmeter. The result is a new method for measuring rheological parameters of viscous, non-Newtonian fluids. The practical realization requires only minor changes to existing instruments. Hence their main advantages are maintained, such as non-invasive, in-line measurement without pressure drop. The basic idea is to generate two different magnetic fields with the flowmeter by switching the current direction in one of the magnetic coils. The flowmeter measures two signals depending on the flow profile. Using simple parametric models for both the flow profile and the rheology, the flow profile can be calculated from the flowmeter signals, and from the flow profile the rheological behaviour is determined. The theory and experimental results with a slightly modified industrial flowmeter are presented.

In-line monitoring of chemical processes is desired for its numerous advantages, such as lesser waste, lower developmental cycle time, and lesser costs. In this study, a methodology is presented for estimating polymer rheological properties using fiber-optic near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy. Predict

In an extrusion process, linear viscoelastic properties of molten poly(ethylene vinyl acetate) (EVA) copolymers, which have one principal factor of variation, can be estimated from in-line near-infrared (NIR) spectra. The NIR transmission spectra of molten polymer flow stream were collected in a flo
