Abstract
Optical methods are established as a standard tool for aerosol size measurement. The aim of this paper is to compare the results of two commercial optical instruments based on the phase-Doppler anemometry (PDA) and laser diffraction (LD) with the inhouse optical photogrammetric measurement method. For the purpose of this measurement, a new inhouse image processing procedure was developed with the use of MATLAB script. The accuracy of this method was tested on several calibration particle samples with a sufficient agreement with the PDA and LD commercial instruments. Subsequently, the water droplet distributions of a two-phase nozzle were evaluated by all three methods. The knowledge of the detailed droplet size distribution of the nozzle is then to be used for the development of a new facility for the study of heterogeneous droplet nucleation. Moreover, these results are useful for determining the advantages and disadvantages of these methods for their application in the wider field of aerosol technology.
期刊介绍:
MATEC Web of Conferences is an Open Access publication series dedicated to archiving conference proceedings dealing with all fundamental and applied research aspects related to Materials science, Engineering and Chemistry. All engineering disciplines are covered by the aims and scope of the journal: civil, naval, mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineering as well as nanotechnology and metrology. The journal concerns also all materials in regard to their physical-chemical characterization, implementation, resistance in their environment… Other subdisciples of chemistry, such as analytical chemistry, petrochemistry, organic chemistry…, and even pharmacology, are also welcome. MATEC Web of Conferences offers a wide range of services from the organization of the submission of conference proceedings to the worldwide dissemination of the conference papers. It provides an efficient archiving solution, ensuring maximum exposure and wide indexing of scientific conference proceedings. Proceedings are published under the scientific responsibility of the conference editors.
