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 14):
A system for measuring the average concentration velocity and mass flow of stem in a conduit comprising:\n a. At least one laser source for a first and a second coherent light beam arranged to pass through said conduit, said beams spaced a predetermined distance along the longitudinal axis of the conduit, at least one of said coherent light beams, said conduit having a predetermined cross sectional area; b. A first light detector corresponding to said first laser on the longitudinal axis of the conduit and a second light detector to corresponding to said second laser spaced along the longitudinal axis of the conduit spaced at a predetermined distance from said first light detector receiving said first and said second coherent light beams, said first light detector operating for a first predetermined time interval and second light detector operating for second predetermined time interval. c. A light path of each of said coherent light beams each having a predetermined distance; d. At least one of said light detectors configured to measure the light absorbance of said at least one coherent light beam through the conduit; e. pattern matching circuit to compare by cosine similarity the light detected by said first and said second light detectors to measure the difference in time between the arrival of a pattern received by the first and second light detectors; f. calculating the velocity by dividing the predetermined distance of the spaced first and second light detectors by said difference in time, the average concentration applying the Beer Lambert Law of the flow and the mass flow determined by the product of the concentration, cross sectional area, and the velocity of the steam; g. reporting the said measurements; and h. adjusting the second predetermined time interval by accounting for processing time and repeating the process until completion.
