Abstract
Chaotic invariant and recurrence quantification analysis measures have characterised fully developed gas-solid flow in horizontal pneumatic conveying of plastic pellets. These measures describe the complexity in phase spaces (attractors) and recurrence plots, reconstructed from pressure and bottom arc-shaped electrostatic signals to characterise the behaviour of flow patterns. Different flow patterns were identified using high-speed video imaging of a transparent pipeline and classified at several operating conditions in a flow pattern map and state diagram. Recurrence plots were analysed for the identified flow patterns, which showed different qualitative structures. The chaotic invariant and recurrence quantification analysis measures were correlated with the state diagram, indicating that the fluctuations of pressure senor and electrostatic sensor signals can classify the flow patterns at different operating conditions. Combining the analysis measures for electrostatic signals can indicate whether the flow condition is above, near or below the minimum energy consumption operating conditions.
