Abstract
The objective of the study is to establish the measuring method of the thin condensate thickness of liquid mixtures by using a laser light absorption method in the unsteady process of water-ethanol Marangoni dropwise condensation. First, the extinction property of test material, whose property against the infrared laser light having wavelength of 3.39 μm have not yet clarified, was measured. Next, the variations of the condensate film thickness after the sweeping of the heat transfer surface by departing drops in Marangoni dropwise condensation cycle were measured. The precision of this method was investigated on the basis of the extinction coefficient of the test material and the thickness of the liquid film measured. As a result, it was shown that the method of this study has good precision satisfactorily and was applicable to the measurement of such kinds.
