Spatio-temporal void fraction in air-water two-phase flow regime transitions has been visualized by combination of convolutional neural network and long short-term memory implemented into multiple -current-voltage (MCV-CNN_LSTM). The MCV-ML is composed of two components, which are MCV-CNN_LSTM training and evaluation. In the first component, four steps are carried out as 1) true void fraction α measurement was conducted by wire-mesh sensor (WMS) as objective variables, 2) simulated MCV voltage U calculation by simulation of MCV measurement for explanatory variable, 3) CNN_LSTM training instance generation, and 4) CNN_LSTM model training and testing. In the second component, two additional steps are experimentally conducted which are 5) actual MCV voltage V measurement by MCV for input of trained ML, and 6) spatio-temporal void fraction α prediction. For the dataset generation, the experiment was conducted on air-water two phase flow regime transitions in vertical pipe with an inner diameter of 25 mm and a length of 350 mm from the elbow. The superficial velocity of liquid and gas phase are varied to present the flow regime transition of bubbly to slug flow. As a result, the estimated spatio-temporal void fraction αˆ by MCV-CNN_LSTM enables the visualization of detailed gas distribution in vertical upward two-phase flow. The spatial averaged instantaneous void fraction measured by WMS and estimated by MCV-CNN_LSTM show qualitative agreement in normalized cross correlation (INCC) of 0.364 on its temporal variation.

Non-invasive hERG channel screening is achieved by integrating electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and extracellular voltage activation (EVA) into a PCB sensor.
