Fluid transport diagnostics

Abstract

An example system includes at least one acoustic sensor configured to generate at least one time-dependent acoustic data signal indicative of an acoustic signal generated by a system performing a fluid transport process possessing a plurality of process attributes. The fluid transport process may include a flow of a fluid along at least one path. The system may further include a computing device including an acoustic data signal processing module configured to receive the at least one time-dependent acoustic data signal, and transform the at least one time-dependent acoustic data signal to a frequency-domain spectrum. Each process attribute of the plurality of process attributes may be associated with at least one respective frequency band. The computing device may include a correlation module configured to determine a process attribute of the plurality of process attributes by identifying at least one characteristic of the frequency-domain spectrum.
