ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-0233/19/1/015502 | Abstract: | The study of the hazard of electrostatic generation in pneumatic conveying systems was attempted by examining the sensitivity of electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) and the phenomena of spark generation due to strong electrostatics. The influence on ECT measurement accuracy of an electrostatic charge was analysed with reference to a switch capacitor configuration model. Consequently, it was found that the electrostatic charge introduced at the bend with sharp angles influenced the ECT results most significantly in pneumatic conveying systems, especially for the cases where a spark was generated. The investigation of spark generation indicated that a strong electrostatic charge can cause major discharges inside or outside the pipeline to damage the experimental instrument in severe cases. © 2008 IOP Publishing Ltd. | Source Title: | Measurement Science and Technology | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/50937 | ISSN: | 09570233 | DOI: | 10.1088/0957-0233/19/1/015502 |
