Patent number: 8857267Abstract: The multiphase flow detector detects the different fractions of different phases of fluids, i.e., oil, water, and/or gas, flowing through a pipeline or the like. The detector includes a plurality of capacitive and resistive probes extending radially into an oil delivery pipeline. The probes preferably have various different lengths from one another to detect differences in fluid phases at differing distances from the pipe wall as the fluid flows randomly therethrough. The capacitive and resistive probes are preferably evenly spaced from one another in an alternating circumferential array. Two rings or stations of such probes are preferably installed in the pipe to measure the velocity of flow in the pipe, as well as the fluid fractions flowing therethrough. Appropriate algorithms enable a central controller to determine the fraction differences between oil and water and between oil and gas, and therefore to determine the fraction difference between water and gas.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2012Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignees: King Fahd University of Pretroleum and Minerals, King Abdulaziz City for Science and TechnologyInventors: Wael H. Ahmed, Abdel Salam Al Sarkhi, Meamer El Nakla

Patent number: 8820175Abstract: The sensor for two-phase flow measurements is installed between two sections of pipe, providing an accurate measurement of radial temperature gradient in a two-phase flow. The sensor includes a heated tube having axially opposed first and second open ends. An annular sensor mount is secured about the first end thereof. First and second annular flanges are mounted to the heated tube for fluid-tight connection with the pair of pipe sections such that a two-phase fluid flowing through the pair of pipe sections continuously flows through the heated tube and a circular opening defined by the annular sensor mount. A central temperature sensor is suspended centrally within the circular opening for measuring a central temperature of the two-phase fluid. At least one peripheral temperature sensor is mounted on the annular sensor mount adjacent an inner annular wall thereof for measuring the peripheral temperature of the two-phase fluid.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2013Date of Patent: September 2, 2014Assignees: King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, King Abdulaziz City for Science and TechnologyInventors: Wael H.
