|a Particle size measurement is important in powder and particle industries in which the particle size affects the productivity and efficiency of the machine, for example, in coal-fired power plants. An electrostatic sensor detects the electric charge from dry particles moving in a pipeline. Analysis of the detected signal can provide useful information about the particle velocity, mass flow rate, concentration and size. Using electrostatic sensors, previous researches studied particle sizing using magnitude dependent analysis which is a highly conditional method where the results can be affected by other parameters such as particle mass flow rate, velocity and concentration. This research proposes a magnitude independent analysis for particle sizing in the frequency domain called spatial filtering method. The solution was started by modeling and analysis of the charge induced to the ring electrode using finite-element analysis to find the sensitivity of electrode. A mathematical model was provided to compute particle position on the radial axis of the electrode and then a new technique was proposed to extract a single particle size from the calculated particle radial position. To validate the proposed method experimentally, a sensor was designed and five test particles ranging from 4 mm to 14 mm were selected for measurement. The results show a 0.44 mm estimation error between the estimated and expected results. The results also show that the method is promising for the establishment of a reliable and cost-effective solid particle sizing system.
