Electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is one of process tomography technique which is developed rapidly in recent years. ECT is an imaging technique to obtain the internal permittivity distribution of a vessel or pipe by using capacitance electrodes sensor. This method has been integrated with ultrasonic tomography as multimodality system to perform multiphase flow measurement such as crude oil separation and oil process industry. In the present paper, a novel type of ECT sensor was developed using copper FR4 material. The electrode sensors can be flexibly bend or curve to fit the pipe surface for optimum measurement. Thus, every single sensor strip is designed to be functioned independently. Such system has lower sensing capability in the central of the sensing area which often contributes to poor imaging result. This problem can be overcome by combining the ECT with ultrasonic tomography to form a dual modality tomography system. By implementing the new ECT sensor, multiphase flow measurement image results can be achieved. The reconstructed image results are presented in this paper.

The advantage of using a tomography system is that it provides visualization of component distributions inside a pipe or a process vessel. Tomography is widely used in the medical field. Due to its non-intrusive nature, tomography has caught the interest of various researchers in process applications. There is an extensive research using ultrasonic tomography for various applications. This paper is a review which expounds the principles of ultrasonic tomography systems, the hardware, and the software used in such systems.

The non-invasion electrical process tomography of plant tuber or root is a new research field in the accurate cultivation of plants. Tuber Electrical Resistance Tomography (TERT) is aimed to extend the application of the technology into agriculture, which can help improving and breeding new varieties of the crops. This paper mainly studies excitation & measurement strategy. Especially the influences on distribution of sensitive field brought by the width and numbers of the array electrodes in the soil environment are analyzed. Besides, the relationship between the electrical conductivity and the measured boundary voltages is also discussed.

Imaging of industrial processes have been accomplished with better efficiency and better control since the introduction of process tomography in several industries. This technique enables a deeper look into the internal conditions of a process without invading the process. In tomographic techniques, process information such as the distribution and velocity of the particles conveying at a particular plane can be obtained by placing sensors around the periphery of the plane. This paper is a continuation of a previous paper entitled Flow Regime Identification Using Neural Network–based Electrodynamic Tomography System in Jurnal Teknologi 40(D). This paper presents the results of sensors output in comparison to that of prediction models, concentration profiles and flow regimes identification obtained from the system described in the previous paper. Key words: Electrodynamic tomography, neural network, concentration profile, flow regimes

Dalam kajian ini, sebuah sistem tomografi menggunakan penderia direka untuk digunakan untuk model paip menegak. Sistem tomografi ini akan digunakan untuk mengira jumlah buih sambil mengukur saiz buih yang terkandung dalam model paip yang diisi dengan air. Sistem ini akan direka bermula dari pemilihan jenis penderia optik sehinggalah ke teknik pemprosesan data. Penderia cahaya infra merah digunakan sebagai sumber cahaya untuk sistem ini. Sifat–sifat beberapa diod foto dikaji dan dibandingkan bagi memilih model yang sesuai untuk sistem ini. Mikro pengawal berfungsi untuk melakukan kerja penukaran isyarat analog ke digital. Beberapa eksperimen telah dijalankan bagi mengenal pasti prestasi sistem penderia tersebut. Hukum Lambert–Beer menyatakan bahawa atenuasi dan penyerapan cahaya berlaku apabila cahaya melintasi bahan yang berlainan. Beberapa eksperimen dijalankan bagi mengetahui sama ada sistem ini mampu mengesan buih dalam paip yang mengandungi air. Data yang diperoleh akan dibandingkan dengan hipotesis yang dibuat mengenai atenuasi dan penyerapan cahaya. Kata kunci: Tomografi optik; kadar halaju zarah; proses tomografi. In this study, an optical process tomography with 2 orthogonal projections is being designed to be implemented at a vertical column modelled. The tomography system will be designed from the development of transducer pairs to the data acquisition system implemented. Infrared emitters are being considered as a light source due to the difference of its wavelength with the wavelength of visible light. Photodiodes are being characterized and compared for maximizing its performance when integrated with the system. Microcontrollers are functioned to perform analogue–to–digital conversion. Experiments are being conducted to investigate whether the system is able to detect gas bubbles in the vertical column. The results from the studies will be compared with theoretical hypotheses of light absorption and light attenuation. Key words: Optical tomography; mass flow rate; process tomography
