The complex pulsatile movement of the Received in revised form 26 February 2014 gas-fly ash mixture dominates the flow performance within the pipeline, and historically, non-invasive Accepted 15 March 2014 measurement devices such as the electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) were often used to sufficiently capture the flow dynamics. However, inadequate studies have been conducted on the pulsatile flow Keywords: phenomenon, which directly relate to the gas-fly ash two-phase flow performance. This paper aims to Pneumatic conveying investigate the pulsatile flows using an ECT device. Initially, pulsat
