The operational efficiency and safety of the dense phase pneumatic conveying system is deeply influenced by the transportation characteristics of the dense-phase gas-solid two-phase flow in conveying pipelines. This paper presents a framework for analyzing the transport characteristics of the gas-solid two-phase flow based on the phase space reconstruction. The framework explores the transport characteristics by reconstructing the state evolution trajectories of the two-phase flow system in state space. The main goal is to enhance the interpretability of feature analysis. By employing the phase space reconstruction method to process the output signals of an electrostatic sensor, the evolution trajectory of the dynamic state of the gas-solid two-phase flow system was reconstructed in phase space.This provides an effective entry point for extracting the essential dynamic characteristics of the gas-solid two-phase flow system. Furthermore, a series of feature values were proposed, including the average speed of the trajectory, Shannon entropy of the trajectory, and the average distance between state points in phase space, which were used to respectively evaluate important transportation characteristics such as flowability, stability, and particle aggregation degree of the gas-solid two-phase flow. Moreover, through comparative analysis with visualization images that represent actual conveying conditions, the effectiveness of these proposed feature values in evaluating these transportation characteristics was verified.
