Abstract

Natural gas is an important strategic reserve resource for the country, also plays an important role in energy transition. During mining and transportation, natural gas has high liquid content and high-pressure characteristics, typically exhibiting gas-liquid annular flow state. Accurate flow metering of each individual phase without separation is significant to academic research and industrial production. Therefore, a combined ultrasonic and differential pressure sensor is presented to acquire flowing information. Based on the limited flowing information (liquid film fraction and gas velocity) measured by dual mode ultrasonic sensor, a two-fluid model is established to solve liquid velocity and droplet entrainment rate for calculating phase flow rates by analyzing the momentum balance between gas and liquid phases. The pressure drop by differential pressure sensor is introduced to make this two-fluid model closed and solvable. Considering the effects of system pressure and pipe diameter on pressure drop, a closed correlation for friction factor at the gas-liquid interface is established. Furthermore, the phase flow rates are calculated by the experimental measurement values obtained by dual mode ultrasonic sensor and the two-fluid model. The relative error of total flow rate is within ±10 % and the mean absolute percentage error is 5.220 %.
