In the design of slurry transport equipment, the effects of solid particle concentration on hydraulic performance and wear have to be considered. This study involves examining the acoustic properties of slurry flows such as velocity, backscatter and attenuation as a function of volume fraction of solid particles. Ultrasound A-mode imaging method is developed to obtain particle concentration in a flow of soda lime glass particles (diameter of 200 micron) and water slurry in a 1″ diameter pipe. Based on the acoustic properties of the slurry a technique is developed to measure local solid particle concentrations. The technique is used to obtain concentration profiles in homogeneous (vertical flow) and non-homogeneous (horizontal flow) slurry flows with solid particle concentrations ranging from 1–10% by volume. The algorithm developed utilizes the power spectrum and attenuation measurements obtained from the homogeneous loop as calibration data in order to obtain concentration profiles in other (i.e. non-homogenous) flow regimes. A computational study using FLUENT was performed and a comparison is made with the experimental results. A reasonable agreement between the experimental and computational results is observed.

A set of miniature optical fiber particle concentration measuring instruments is designed and applied to develop a unified expression for the concentration measurement of uniform particles in tap water. By measuring the concentrations of six uniform silicon carbide particles in the size range of 38–250 μm, the unified relationship between particle size, particle concentration, and optical scattering intensity is proposed. The unified expression is verified by the concentration measurements of silicon carbide particles with three other sizes. The results show that the measurement error is less than 10%, and the unified expression is satisfactory considering the large measuring range of 0–50 kg/m3. The effects of light intensity on the concentration measurement are discussed based on the results of 150 μm silicon carbide particles under three different light intensities. It is shown that a low light intensity can be applied for high-concentration measurement with relatively low accuracy, while a high light intensity can be adopted for low-concentration measurement with higher accuracy.
