Imaging Industrial Flows - Applications of Electrical Process Tomography

This authoritative account of the industrial potential of tomographic imaging techniques provides an overview of the instrumentation used in process tomography. Assuming only a basic knowledge of instrumentation, electronics, and computing systems, the authors concisely describe the principles behind the operation of image reconstruction techniques and the application of electrical tomography to measuring flows in pipelines and other industrial equipment. This reference will help you improve the efficiency of measurement and control equipment, monitor industrial effluents, and increase the efficiency and safety of process plant equipment, in particular, in the chemical engineering, oil technology, and flow measurement instrumentation industries.
