Development of a Sensor to Detect Condensation of Super-Sonic Steam

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper explains the development and functioning of AC driven electrodes based sensor which is used for the study of condensation phenomena of steam. Time for the AC signals starts form 20 msecond to 1 second. Data acquisition system is employed against each time interval and the output data is fed into EIDORS (a free software algorithm). Images show the clear boundaries between pure steam, its interface and water.
