FLUID FLOW SENSOR USING DRIVER AND REFERENCE ELECTROMECHANICAL RESONATORS
20230184655 · 2023-06-15 ·

Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for performing real-time measurements of drilling fluid in a well. A driver and a reference are monitored for responses by a measurement controller of a system for measuring fluid flow. The driver is configured as a driving electromechanical resonator for contacting the drilling fluid. The reference is configured as a reference electromechanical resonator for contacting the drilling fluid. The reference is of a similar construction as the driver and is in contact with the drilling fluid in a substantially same way. Real-time measurements are performed by the measurement controller based on information received from the driver and reference. A viscosity and density of the drilling fluid are determined based on the real-time measurements. The similar construction of the driver and reference enables mitigation of environmental sensitivities of the driver and reference, enhancing fluid property sensitivities to physical properties of the drilling fluid.

Apparatus and method for monitoring melt stream within a fiberizing apparatus

This invention addresses technical problem of optimizing output of a melt cascade, which is used in production of mineral fiber (so called mineral wool as known in state of the art being stone wool, slag wool or other type of mineral wool). These technical problems are solved by steps of determining (a) trajectory of movement of a melt stream, (b) melt concentration relative to surrounding air between the first and the second rotating wheels, and (c) movement vector, and further by regulating of movement of melt stream (i.e., drop mass), said regulation mostly achieved through variation in point of contact of melt and rotating wheel or plurality thereof. This is achieved by determining three key parameters: (a) trajectory of movement of melt stream, (b) melt concentration relative to surrounding air between the first and the second rotating wheels, and (c) movement vector, and further by analyzing these three key.
