Variable Name: C4W_MediumInhomogenIndex_1

Variable ID: 0x4040

Variable Label: Index inhomogeneous medium

Variable Help: Indicates the severity of the second phase. For applications with entrained gas for example, the index describes the relative amount of entrained gas in the liquid. If there is no entrained gas in the liquid, the value is 0, and for very high levels of gas volume (associated with severe slug flow, for example), the value exceeds 10. Additional information: - The index increases with an increase in the second phase, such as gas volume in a liquid, but scaling is not linear (i.e. no 1:1 correlation of index to gas volume fraction), and with increased flow speed, which results in greater homogeneity, the index value decreases - The index will not saturate with excessive second phase. - The diagnostic is repeatable under the same conditions, and thus can be used to better understand process conditions and the relative severity of the second phase. - This index can also be used to determine the relative level of solids in a liquid or the relative level of a liquid phase in a wet gas.
