dc.description.abstractProcter and Gamble (P&G) requires an online system that can monitor the particle size distribution of their washing powder mixing process. This would enable the process to take a closed loop form which would enable process optimization to take place in real time. Acoustic emission (AE) was selected as the sensing method due to its non-invasive nature and primary sensitivity to frequencies which particle events emanate. This work details the results of the first experiment carried out in this research project. The first experiment involved the use of AE to distinguish sieved particle which ranged from 53 to 250 microns and were dispensed on a target plate using a funnel. By conducting a threshold analysis of the peaks in the signal, the sizes of the particles could be distinguished and a signal feature was found which could be directly linked to the sizes of the particles.en_UK
