Noise of electrode sensor in pulsating liquid flow

详细

A periodic component of the ac electrode voltage (electrode noise) is revealed in experiments. The frequency of the periodic component is equal to the pulsation frequency of the flow velocity of liquid in which the electrode sensor is immersed. For the electrode sensor that moves in liquid such a component of the electrode noise may prevail and determine the sensitivity. The sensitivity of a sensor with stainless-steel electrodes with respect to the velocity pulsations is determined to be 1.2 × 10⁻⁶ V s/m. Pulsations of the electrode potential can be interpreted using variations in the rate of electrochemical reaction on the electrode surface.
