Abstract:

This thesis presents a high-resolution patternator system for the measurement of volume and mixing ratios of simultaneously sprayed immiscible and miscible liquids. The system utilizes a moving grid of measurement cells equipped with adjustable inlets, allowing two-dimensional sampling of spray distributions. Two hydrostatic pressure-based methods are developed to measure total volume and mixing ratios, with the second method specialized for immiscible liquids. The system uses submersible pressure sensors to capture pressure profiles inside the measurement cells. The dimensions of the setup are optimized using an optical spray analysis tool to reflect worst-case spray coverage. Preliminary validation with a simplified setup confirms the feasibility of the proposed methods.
