Abstract :
A new method is then proposed for analyzing component of binary gas. An equation for measuring binary gas is deduced theoretically. It is found that the velocity of the ultrasonic wave in the binary gas has a relation with the gas concentration. Although the rate of speed change is very small, change in the phase of velocity is obvious. The realization of the research project is introduced from the points of theoretical analysis, system collectivity design and functional modules. Dual channel and measuring phase are used to measure the ultrasonic wave propagation time. Difference phase comparison is used to realize the accurate measurement for gas mixture. The shortcoming in conventional sound-time measurement is overcome. In order to increase the device´s precision, measures such as temperature compensation are taken. The relation between the temperature and the dual-ultrasonic phase difference and the relation between the gas thickness and the dual-ultrasonic phase difference are found by experiments. Reasonable compensation has been made to those relations by software.
