Abstract:
A method and system for measuring steam mass flow in a conduit by simultaneously measuring absorbance and variable steam patterns by light detectors receiving coherent light.

Claim (Index 1):
A method to measure steam quality and mass flow through a conduit having a longitudinal axis and a predetermined cross sectional area comprising:\n (a) Passing a first coherent beam of light from a first laser and a second coherent beam of light from a second laser through the conduit; (b) Detecting light said first beam of coherent light with a corresponding first light detector disposed generally transverse a longitudinal axis of the conduit from said first laser having a light path distance and a corresponding second light detector spaced apart along the longitudinal axis of the conduit from said second laser having a light path; (c) Measuring light absorbance between said first laser and said first light detector as the difference between the first laser power and the received of said first light detector; (d) Matching a pattern by cosine similarity between the light detected by said first and second light detector; (e) Measuring the difference in time between the reception of the pattern detected by the first and second light detector; and (f) Calculate the average concentration according to the Beer Lambert Law, velocity by said difference in time divided by said predetermined difference distance between said first laser and said second laser, and mass flow determined by the product of said concentration, said cross sectional area and said velocity of the steam.
