The design of a sensitive probe for mass flux measurements of water vapor in air

Author

Devendra Vaikunthlal Mehta

Abstract

"This investigation pertains to the construction and investigation of a sensitive probe to determine the possibility of measuring the mass flux of water vapor in air under non-flow steady state conditions. The probe was a small electrolysis cell is which the electrolyte (partially hydrated phosphorus pentoxide) was used as the sensing element. The rate of mass transfer was determined by measuring the amount of direct current flowing through the acid film"--Abstract, page i.
