Graphical abstract Abstract This paper presents a three dimensional (3D) modelling of a dual modality sensor composite which emerges electrical capacitance sensor (ES) and ultrasonic transducer (UT) for process tomography applications. The dual-modality tomography (DMT) setup has employed a customized ES electrodes along with UT on a single-plane. A finite element method is used to analyze the feasibility and the behavior of the DMT setup in 3D environment using COMSOL Multiphysics software.
