Finite-Element Modeling of Electrostatic Sensors for the Flow Measurement of Particles in Pneumatic Pipelines
This paper reports for the first time the fundamental sensing mechanism of intrusive and non-intrusive electrostatic sensors which have been used for several decades. The modelling results led to in-depth understanding and optimised design of electrostatic sensors for flow measurement of particulate solids across many industries. This paper was one of the key publications leading to Yan being named an IEEE Fellow, the first IEEE Fellow in the field of instrumentation and measurement in the UK. This paper underpinned a Major Award for Research Exchanges with China from the Royal Academy of Engineering (Ref:5502) and a Newton International Fellowship (Ref:35131).
