Description
Summary:The effect of inlet radius of a transmission type optical gas cell on its response time is reported. Six gas cells of varying lengths, and internal radius of 0.32cm were considered at first and then other internal diameters were also investigated afterwards. The effect of inlet radius is easily discernible at all velocities considered; however it is more pronounced at lower flow rates. At a velocity of 16.79cm/s of ozone gas, and for a target sensing time of ≤ 0.5 seconds; we observed that the inlet radius requirements for gas cells of varying lengths and varying internal diameters is not the same for a specific target sensing speed. The length and the internal radius of a gas cell are proportional to its inlet radius
