Abstract

A TECHNIQUE developed by this laboratory for use in model experiments on the mixing of air and gas in the open hearth furnace has application to any problem of turbulent diffusion between streams of similar gases, in which mean concentrations of one gas in the other are to be sampled. The method used combines high sensitivity and rapidity of response With freedom from poisonous tracer substances.
