Electronics Nuclear engineering This thesis investigates a simple measurement of concentration and velocity of objects flowing in a pipe of 100mm diameter.

The output from both sensors is cross-correlated. The peak of the cross-correlation graph represented the time for the object to move from upstream to downstream.
