Summary
In this paper a nonintrusive technique for measuring the distribution of noncondensible gases in two-phase flow experiments, using ultraviolet attenuation, has been developed. The technique consists of detecting the attenuation of ultraviolet light by a highly absorbing tracer gas which is mixed with the noncondensibles (air) and injected into the experimental system. The experiments conducted using this technique show very promising results when used in the high quality regions of the system. At low qualities, scattering of light becomes significant.
