Dr. Kristian G. Basario, lecturer from Mechanical Section gave a seminar entitled “Visualization of Temperature Distribution during Real Time Multiphase Flow Process in Various Applications” to the engineering staff last January 10, 2019. The seminar focuses on the new technology Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) and its applications in the different fields of engineering. This technology is about the visualization of the actual processes inside the pipeline or any vessels in real time.

Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) is designed to investigate, measures and visualize inner process in a non-invasive and non-intrusive way. Its main idea is collecting the cross section images within the enclosed area based on the 66-capacitances measurement in which out of it the relative permittivity values are obtained. ECT is used to all multi-phase processes like solid-liquid phase and vice versa, liquid-gas phase and vice versa, gas-solid and vice versa and so on, hence it is applicable to almost all industrial fields. This kind of technology can help the users to create or formulate mathematical equations for calculations for thermodynamic properties parameter setting. Generating graphical data can help analyze the results in scholarly engineering works. Further, the most interesting and exciting are the 2D and 3D images that ECT can provide during the actual processes. This will validate the theoretical aspect of multi-phase flow to actual process scenario.
