Abstract
A method is provided for non-intrusively determining deposits of a fluidic channel. The method includes creating a pressure pulse in a fluidic channel. The method also includes sensing, by one or more sensors, reflections of the pressure pulse; and obtaining, from the one or more sensors, a measured pressure profile based on the sensed reflections of the pressure pulse. A processor then can determine one or more properties of the deposit in the fluidic channel based on the measured pressure profile.

A method to non-intrusively determine properties of deposits in a fluidic channel, the method comprising:
- obtaining, from one or more sensors, a measured pressure profile based on a pressure pulse induced in a fluidic channel;
- and
- determining, by a controller, one or more properties of a deposit in the fluidic channel based on the measured pressure profile.
A data acquisition system comprising:
- one or more sensors operable to measure pressure in a fluidic channel;
- and
- a controller operable to:
- obtain, from the one or more sensors, a measured pressure profile based on a pressure pulse induced in the fluidic channel;
- and
- determine one or more properties of a deposit in the fluidic channel based on the measured pressure profile.
A system comprising:
- a fluidic channel;
- a pressure device operable to create a pressure pulse in the fluidic channel;
