Abstract
Methods and systems for determining a composition of a gas in a pipe using a plurality of pressure sensors disposed along the pipe. Each pressure sensor in the plurality of pressure sensors may include a diaphragm for sensing pressure that is aligned with an inner wall of the pipe, and the location of each pressure sensor in the plurality of pressure sensors may be known. The method generally includes obtaining a plurality of pressure signals from the plurality of pressure sensors, determining, using the plurality of pressure signals, a speed of sound of the gas, and determining, using the plurality of pressure signals, an attenuation of sound intensity of the gas. The method further includes determining, with a computational model, the composition of the gas, based on the determined speed of sound of the gas and the attenuation of sound intensity of the gas.
