Abstract The response of a polarographic oxygen electrode to step change and an exponential in bulk concentration was studied theoretically experimentally for the case where there is significant liquid film resistance at outer side membrane‐covered electrode. probe has been described by mathematical model which takes into account mass transfer through membrane. It shown that substantial error could be introduced neglecting resistance. A test procedure suggested evaluate significance.

We investigate and address the performance limitations of ATLAS silicon tracker fluorocarbon evaporative cooling system operation in circuits barrel microstrip (SCT) sub-detector. In these minimum achievable evaporation temperatures with C3F8 were higher than original specification, thought to allow an insufficient safety margin against thermal runaway detector modules subject a radiation dose initially foreseen for 10 years at LHC.

Precision sound velocity measurements can simultaneously determine binary gas composition and flow. We have developed an analyzer with custom electronics, currently in use the ATLAS inner detector, numerous potential applications. The instrument has demonstrated ~0.3% mixture precision for C3F8/C2F6 mixtures < 10-4 resolution N2/C3F8 mixtures. Moderate high flow versions of resolutions +/- 2% F.S. flows up to 250 l.min-1, 1.9% linear velocities 15 ms-1; latter approaching that expected...

We describe a combined ultrasonic instrument for continuous gas flow measurement and simultaneous real-time binary mixture analysis. In the instrument, sound bursts are transmitted in opposite directions, which may be aligned with path or at an angle to it, latter configuration being best adapted high rates.
