Development and Application of a Two-Colour Particle-Sizing Instrument

  • Conference paper
Measuring Techniques in Gas-Liquid Two-Phase Flows

Abstract

A two-colour optical technique has been used during the development of a digital particle sizing instrument. The initial development has been directed towards the study of air-water two phase flows, although the instrument has significant potential for a much wider range of applications.
