Radioactive Particle Tracking Calibration using Labwindows CVI - Video 01

Описание: The Radioactive Particle Tracking (RPT) technique applied to fluidized beds consists of detecting the amount of radiation in the form of γ-rays, emitted by a single radioactive tracer-particle (Because the focus of this research is related to agglomerates, the radioactive tracer-particle term, which is used in most RPT publications, will be changed to radioactive tracer-agglomerate in this work). The detected radiation is a function of distance from an array of gamma ray detectors located externally to the bed. The main advantage of this method is its non-intrusive nature; data can thus be obtained without disrupting the gas-solid flow inside the vessel.

A complete RPT system includes:
• A single radioactive tracer-agglomerate emitting γ-rays.
• Several scintillation detectors to sense the radiation emitted by the tracer agglomerate.
• One computer or computers to record, process, and analyze the data from each detector.

In this video, the calibration of the RPT setup was performed under a control environment in an old structure, just to see the potential of the equipment.
