Abstract
Systems and methods for material composition detection includes a vessel containing a quantity of a fluid composition therein which has at least a first and second fluids. At least one acoustic transducer is positioned on an exterior sidewall of the vessel. A computerized device has a processor and is in communication with the acoustic transducer. A metric of a property of the first fluid is determined based on a first signal of the acoustic transducer. A metric of a property of the second fluid is determined based on a second signal of the acoustic transducer. A metric of a property of the fluid composition at a point in time is determined based on the metrics of the first and second fluids, and at least a determinable volume of at least a portion of the vessel. A material identity of the fluid composition is determined at the point in time.
