Determination of submicronic particle size distribution by means of polarized light: Application to condensation nuclei and turboreactors

The paper discusses the application of polarized light as a means of determining submicronic particle size distribution either by analyzing the particles one by one in the case of atmospheric particles or by analyzing the particle-cloud scattering pattern. In both cases, the accuracy in measuring th...

Description
Summary:The paper discusses the application of polarized light as a means of determining submicronic particle size distribution either by analyzing the particles one by one in the case of atmospheric particles or by analyzing the particle-cloud scattering pattern. In both cases, the accuracy in measuring the particle size is of the order of 20%. Two specific applications for the technique are discussed, the first involves the operating conditions of a steam turbine and the second concerns the clouds of solid carbon particles emitted from an Olympus type turboreactor.
