Research abstract
Not Available This proposal describes a novel optical fluid quality sensor (OFQS) and the objectives to produce a prototype sensor for in-line use in a cryogenic test facility. The OFQS is non-intrusive and capable of instantaneous indication of the presence of two phase flow. In addition, the fully developed sensor will be capable of determining relative concentrations of several different fluids and/or gases which may be present. Response time of the sensor will be capable of monitoring flow rates in excess of 17,000 gpm in cryogenic rocket engine test facilities. During Phase I a proof-of-concept experiment will be performed to validate the basic principle of operation. The results of phase I will feed directly into the development of a working prototype sensor to be developed in Phase II.
