Method and apparatus for analyzing particle-containing gaseous suspensions

Patent · Tue Mar 24 00:00:00 EST 1987

Solomon, P R; Carangelo, R M; Best, P E

The method and apparatus permit analyses, by optical means, of properties of gaseous suspensions of particles, by measuring radiation that is emitted, transmitted or scattered by the particles. Determinations of composition, size, temperature and spectral emittance can be performed either in-situ or by sampling, and Fourier-transform infrared spectrometric techniques are most effectively used. Apparatus specifically adapted for performing radiation scattering analyses, and for collecting radiation from different sources, are provided. 51 figs.
