Abstract

<p><tt>This paper describes the possibility of a C2H4 concentration monitor using with the ultrasonic attenuations in mixtures of C2H4 and air. Measurements of the attenuation per unit distance of 215 kHz ultrasonic pulses were carried out by varying the length of the test cell </tt><tt>of 34 mm in diameter from 30 mm to 300 mm. The attenuations of C2H4 and air mixtures are extremely large compared with air and C2H4.From these fundamental results,the practical gas detection cells and the detection </tt><tt>method in order to monitor the gas concentration were developed.The two 215 kHz ultrasonic transducers were installed on the both sides of the gas detection cell of 4 mm in diameter and 70 mm or 40 mm </tt><tt>long.The ultrasonic pulses were sent intermittently from the trallsducer and were propagated through the cell. The sound pressure of the ultmsonic waves were detected by another transducer on the other side. The peek detected value of the souod pressure in the first receiving waves ls decayed sharply introducing C2H4 </tt><tt>and air mixtures in to the cell. The relationship between the peek detected value,P1 and C2H4 concentration,C(%), was measured.</tt></p><p><tt> The summary of the measurements is as follows:</tt></p><p><tt> a)The peek detected value P1 of the soud presure extremely decreases with increasing C2H4 concentration in a range of C=0~20%(Fig.5 a,b).However P1 is almost constant for a range of C>20%.The former range is suitable for a C2H4 monitor.</tt></p><p><tt>b) The gas temperature dependence on P1 was measured in a range 1O~40℃ while P1 decreases with increasing temperature(Fig.8),the attenuation per unit distance is almost independent of the temperature(Fig.9).</tt></p><p>c) By absorbing water vapor into the gas,P1 becomes smaller than the dry one(Fig.5a,b).</p><p><tt>d) The C2H6 and C2H4 gas mixtures were also investigated,The </tt>P1<tt> relatively decreases with increasing C2H6 concentra</tt><tt>tion in a range O~30%. The C2H6 monitor for CC2H6 and C2H4 gasmixtures also has a possibility(Fig.7〉.</tt></p>
