Mixer detector

The amplified signal is passed to a double-balanced mixer configured as a phase-sensitive detector where the two inputs are the NMR signal (cOq) and the frequency of the synthesizer (03. gf) with the output proportional to cos(coq - co gj.)t + 0) + cos((coq + + 9). The sum frequency is much larger than the total bandwidth of the... 

Figure C3.1.1. The basic elements of a time-resolved spectral measurement. A pump source perturbs tlie sample and initiates changes to be studied. Lasers, capacitive-discharge Joule heaters and rapid reagent mixers are some examples of pump sources. The probe and detector monitor spectroscopic changes associated with absorjDtion, fluorescence, Raman scattering or any otlier spectral approach tliat can distinguish the initial, intennediate and final...

In the chemiluminescence-based HPLC detection system, illustrated schematically in Figure 6, the oxalate ester and hydrogen peroxide are introduced to the eluent stream at postcolumn mixer Mj, which then flows through a conventional fluorescence detector with the exciting lamp turned off or a specially built chemiluminescence detector. The two reagents are combined at mixer Mj, rather than being premixed, to prevent the slow hydrolytic reactions of the oxalate ester. 

Example 5.7 We have to design a servo-controller for a mixing system. A blue dye for making denim is injected into a stream of water. The injected dye is blended into the pipe flow with the aid of in situ static mixers. A photodetector downstream is used to monitor the dye concentration. The analog output of the detector is... 

The adsorbate gas must be mixed with the carrier gas in the required concentrations for analysis. This can be done prior to analysis and a number of tanks for various concentrations can be kept, or the mixing can be done during the analysis with a gas mixer. The sample holder can allow the gas to flow through the sample (such as a modified U-tube), or a vacuum can be pulled on the sample, which requires a sample holder consisting of a single stem with a bulb at the bottom to hold sample. The most common type of detector is the thermal conductivity...

Applications. The munitions industry has several applications suited for infrared detectors. Conveyor belts passing through large covered ducts and explosive and propellant mixers are examples of the controlled environment necessary for proper application. 

The ability to make ever smaller solid-state devices by improved lithography techniques has led to the development of so-called beam lead Schottky-barrier diode detectors and mixers in which diodes are fabricated by the same techniques used to make integrated circuits, and for this reason, they can be included in these circuits. Figure 7 shows such a beam-lead detector/mixer made by Virginia Diodes of Charlottesville, VA [15]. This same configuration is used in fabricating the varactor devices used for frequency multiplication discussed in the preceding section.

The traditional HPLC instrument is composed of two different parts the first part separates the components of the sample and the other part accomplishes the detection of the components separated. The part of the HPLC carrying out the separation contains a column, an injection device and the eluent delivery system (pump with filters, degasser and transfer tubing, eventually a mixer for gradient elution). One or more detectors, a signal output device coupled with appropriate software, are responsible for detection and primary data evaluation. Pumps deliver the eluent or the different components of the eluent into the column with a precise, constant and reproducible flow rate. 

Where process equipment is provided with fixed-temperature detectors, these should be located as near as possible to the potential fire source for example, above flammable liquid pump seals, immediately over a solvent draw-off point, or mounted above a crude tank mixer stuffing box. As a general rule, fixed-temperature detectors directed at a potential hazard should be considered only for process equipment where specific fire problems are anticipated. 

Figure 3.24 depicts a piezoelectric sensor consisting of two oscillator circuits a detector crystal oscillator and a reference crystal oscillator. The two are identical except for the fact that the reference oscillator is not coated with biological material and is intended to correct for temperature and humidity fluctuations, as well as other interfering effects. The two oscillator frequencies are fed to a mixer that provides the difference in frequency between the two crystals. In order to use the piezoelectric effect to detect a target dissolved substrate it should be reacted with a suitable biocatalyst immobilized on the crystal by entrapment (deposition from an acrylamide solution), cross-linking, irradiation or pre-coating. 

The expts were conducted in stainless steel sigma-blade type mixers with proplnt mixing capacities of 60, 600 and 2000 lbs, respectively. Radioactivity measurements on samples taken from various locations in the batch at different mixing times were performed with a sodium iodide scintillation detector system...
