In-Situ Measuring the Particle Mean Size and Dust Concentration by Near-Forward Small Angle Light Scattering

摘要

This paper presents a method of measuring the particle mean size and dust concentration by small angle near-forward light scattering optics and the extinction theory. Its theory is based on Fraunhofer diffraction theory which is the approximation of Mie scattering within the forward Fraunhofer diffraction lobe, and Rosin-Rammler function is introduced to describe the particle size distribution in two-phase flow in advance. Compared with the values by the sample-weight method, the measurement results have a reasonable agreement. The present work has demonstrated that this method will be probably used to monitor the parameters of two-phase flow.
