Abstract
Electromagnetic tomography and electrical resistance tomography (EMT/ERT) dual-modality sensors can combine the advantages of single-modality sensors and detect the distribution of a three-phase medium in a gas–liquid–solid three-phase fluidized bed containing magnetic catalyst. However, the detailed design and optimization of the structure of the EMT/ERT dual-modality sensor arranged in the same cross-section are lacking. In this paper, this problem is solved from the perspective of mutual interference with both EMT and ERT. In numerical simulations, the boundary measurement data and the quality of reconstructed images are compared between single-modality and dual-modality. It is concluded that the EMT has no interference with the ERT, whereas the EMT is interfered by the ERT with the increase of duty ratio. In addition, it is determined that the position of the center of the coil facing the center of the electrodes and the electrode duty ratio of 0.5 are the optimal dual-modality structure. A dual-modality sensor experiment is carried out, and the optimal structure of dual-modality sensor is further validated.
